Peugeot 2008 VIN Check & Decoder

The 2008 is Peugeot's small SUV. The first generation (2013–2019) was a crossover based on the 208, while the second generation, launched in 2019, grew into a proper small SUV and added the fully electric e-2008. A VIN check on a used 2008, 2008 GT, or e-2008 brings together the accident, ownership, mileage, and recall history that a clean-looking SUV won't reveal on its own.

Peugeot VINs traditionally start with VF3, while second-generation 2008s (from 2019) typically start with VR3 — another Peugeot manufacturer code. Decoding the VIN confirms the generation and whether a car is a petrol, diesel, or electric e-2008, which tells you which of the checks below matter most.

Popular 2008 Models You Can Check

  • 2008 (first generation, 2013–2019): The 208-based crossover with PureTech, VTi, and HDi/BlueHDi engines and optional Grip Control
  • 2008 (second generation, from 2019): The larger, more SUV-like 2008 with PureTech petrol and BlueHDi diesel engines
  • e-2008: The fully electric version — ask for battery health information alongside the standard checks

Common Issues to Check For on a Used Peugeot 2008

The 2008 shares its engines with the 208 and other Stellantis models, so the same well-documented issues apply:

  • PureTech Timing Belt: The 1.2 PureTech's timing belt runs in oil and can degrade prematurely, with documented cases of engine damage and reports of high oil consumption — check belt replacement records and the oil grade used
  • AdBlue System on BlueHDi Diesels: AdBlue tank, pump, or heater faults can trigger warnings and eventually prevent restarting — ask whether the system has been repaired
  • ETG Automated Manual (Early First Generation): Some early 2008s use the ETG automated manual, known for jerky shifts — later cars were offered with a six-speed automatic instead
  • Grip Control Isn't Four-Wheel Drive: Grip Control is an advanced traction-control system for front-wheel-drive cars — don't pay extra expecting 4x4 capability
  • e-2008 Battery Health: The battery has its own warranty (8 years or 160,000 km for 70% of its capacity) — ask for a battery health report and check that the warranty is still valid

To decode each character of the number, use our free VIN decoder, and for the full history run a VIN check. Because PureTech engines depend on the right oil and service intervals, read our guide on how often to change your oil. The 2008 is closely related to the Peugeot 208; for a larger SUV, see the Peugeot 3008. Every model is listed on our Peugeot VIN check page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 2008 with Grip Control four-wheel drive?

No. Every 2008 is front-wheel drive; Grip Control adjusts the traction control for surfaces such as mud, snow, and sand and is usually paired with all-season tyres.

What should I check on a used e-2008?

Besides the standard VIN check, ask for a battery health report, confirm that the charging cables are included, and check that the battery warranty — 8 years or 160,000 km for 70% of its capacity — still applies.
