Is the Peugeot 3008 ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 133,166 MOT tests, around 59% of Peugeot 3008s still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 29% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 12%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 70% diesel, 29% petrol. Diesel 3008s are generally compliant from 2016, while diesel cars from 2013 or earlier are likely to be charged. Every petrol 3008 in the data (2009 onwards) is likely to be compliant.

How ULEZ rules apply to the 3008
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Diesel (70% of 3008s tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- Petrol (29% of 3008s tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
3008s from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (12% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Peugeot can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Peugeot 3008 for London: what the MOT data shows
The Peugeot 3008s in this data were first registered between 2009 and 2021. 2019 was the most common year, with 19,391 tests (15% of the total), and half were registered in 2017 or later.
3008s from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 81% of the time, at an average of 42,728 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 54% of the time with 91,059 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.
On a budget, the oldest diesel 3008s likely to comply are from 2016. 6,117 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 69% of the time and averaged 53,164 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the 3008's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (5.1% of tests); tyres: "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm" (3.7%); suspension: "fractured or broken" (3.6%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 19.8% of tests.
Overall, 72% of 3008s passed first time, roughly in line with the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 59,858 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
