Question 1

What goes wrong with the Peugeot 308 1.2 PureTech?

Accepted Answer

Its timing belt runs in oil and can wear early, shedding debris that can block the oil pick-up. Look for proof the belt was inspected or replaced on schedule and that the correct grade of oil was used.

Question 2

Which Peugeot 308 diesel is the best used buy?

Accepted Answer

The 1.5 BlueHDi, fitted from 2018, is economical and pairs well with the EAT8 automatic, while earlier cars use 1.6 and 2.0 BlueHDi engines. Any diesel needs regular longer runs to keep its particulate filter clear.

Question 3

Is the Peugeot 308 SW a practical estate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the SW stretches the wheelbase over the hatchback, giving more rear legroom and a much larger boot. It comes with the same petrol, diesel and hybrid engines and, on the latest generation, as an electric car too.

Question 4

Does a used Peugeot 308 meet London's ULEZ?

Accepted Answer

Every petrol 308 complies, as all three generations meet Euro 4 or later. A diesel complies when it meets Euro 6, generally those registered from September 2015.

Question 5

What engines does the new Peugeot 308 come with?

Accepted Answer

The new 308 and 308 SW are sold with a 130PS 1.5 BlueHDi diesel, a 145PS hybrid with a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox, a 195PS plug-in hybrid and the 156PS electric E-308 with a 55 kWh battery. Every version is automatic, in Allure, GT or GT Premium trim.
