The 3008 arrived in 2009 as a crossover with MPV-like practicality, but the second generation, launched in 2016, turned it into a proper SUV and was named European Car of the Year 2017. It has been one of Peugeot's most popular models ever since, and the third generation, launched in 2024, added the electric E-3008. A VIN check on a used 3008 brings together the accident, ownership, mileage, and recall history that a well-kept SUV won't reveal on its own.

How different are the first- and second-generation 3008?
Very different. The first generation (2009–2016) is a tall crossover with MPV-like practicality, while the second generation is a conventional SUV with a newer platform, different engines, and the i-Cockpit interior. Decoding the VIN confirms which one you're looking at.
Is the 3008 four-wheel drive?
Most 3008s are front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive has been offered only on certain electrified versions, such as the first-generation HYbrid4 and the second-generation Hybrid4 plug-in hybrid, which use an electric motor to drive the rear wheels.
