Is the Peugeot 5008 ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 31,032 MOT tests, around 61% of Peugeot 5008s still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 27% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 11%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 74% diesel, 26% petrol. Diesel 5008s are generally compliant from 2016, while diesel cars from 2013 or earlier are likely to be charged. Every petrol 5008 in the data (2010 onwards) is likely to be compliant.

How ULEZ rules apply to the 5008
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 (74% of 5008s tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- Petrol (26% of 5008s tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
5008s from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (11% 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 5008 for London: what the MOT data shows
The Peugeot 5008s in this data were first registered between 2010 and 2021. 2019 was the most common year, with 5,739 tests (19% of the total), and half were registered in 2018 or later.
5008s from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 79% of the time, at an average of 42,473 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 51% of the time with 103,462 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 5008s likely to comply are from 2016. 1,765 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 61% of the time and averaged 69,613 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the 5008's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (7.3% of tests); brakes: "less than 1.5 mm thick" (3.6%); tyres: "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm" (3.5%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 21.4% of tests.
Overall, 69% of 5008s passed first time, slightly below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 63,415 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
