Peugeot 5008

The Peugeot 5008 1.6 HDI (DV6C engine) faces several known mechanical and electronic challenges. Critical issues include failures in Continental/Siemens injectors and fuel leakage through injector washers, which can lead to oil contamination and turbocharger failure. At high mileages near 240,000 km, the turbocharger, dual-mass flywheel, and clutch often reach the end of their service life. The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is prone to saturation and requires specific Eolys additive maintenance. Common electronic faults involve the BSI (Body Systems Interface) causing erratic lights or wipers, and sporadic common rail pressure sensor failures. Additionally, owners report premature wear in front suspension silent blocks, irregular rear tire wear, and failures in window regulators or climate control condensers. The timing belt is a critical maintenance item due every 10 years or 240,000 km.

Owners generally praise the first-generation Peugeot 5008 for its exceptional modularity and family-oriented design, particularly the three independent second-row seats and flat-folding floor. The 1.6 HDI engine is highly regarded for its fuel efficiency, averaging around 4.7 l/100 km, and its quiet performance on highways. While the ride quality is described as smooth and car-like with minimal body roll, the 'Access' trim is often criticized for being overly basic, lacking features like parking sensors or premium interior materials. Reliability is considered good for the engine block itself—often exceeding 300,000 km—but peripheral components and interior plastics tend to show significant wear after the 200,000 km mark.

For a 2013 Peugeot 5008 with high mileage (approx. 238,000 km), the market price typically fluctuates between 4,500 € and 6,000 €. The 7-seater configuration is a significant value driver, adding roughly 400 € to 500 € compared to 5-seater models. However, the 'Access' trim represents the entry-level version, which can lead to faster depreciation compared to 'Allure' or 'Style' trims. Vehicles at this age and mileage face a technical depreciation of 75-80%. Potential buyers should prioritize units with documented timing belt and clutch replacements, as these repairs can cost up to 20% of the vehicle's total market value. A fair closing price for a basic trim with high mileage and pending major maintenance is estimated between 4,800 € and 5,100 €.
