Used Peugeot 308 for sale in Europe

About the Peugeot 308

The Peugeot 308 is a compact family car in the Golf class. It replaced the 307 in 2007 and has gone through three generations. It suits drivers who want a practical hatchback or estate for commuting and family use, with a small boot-size trade-off against some rivals.

Body styles have included a five-door hatchback and an estate called SW. The first generation also had a coupe-cabriolet, the 308 CC. Engines span small petrol turbos, several diesels, and in recent years hybrid and electric versions, so the choice of used car varies widely.

Our listings cover model years 2007 to 2026 and include petrol, diesel, LPG-converted, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric cars. Equipment, engines and technology differ a lot between generations. It helps to decide on a generation first, then compare engines and condition.

Generations

• Mk1 (2007-2013) — First 308, sold as hatchback and SW estate, with a coupe-cabriolet (CC) added later.
• Mk2 (2013-2021) — Lighter platform with a new dashboard layout and small touchscreen, updated in 2017 with revised engines and styling.
• Mk3 (2021-present) — Third generation with new styling and a digital driver display, offered with petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid and electric (e-308) powertrains.

What to check when buying a used Peugeot 308

Ask for the full service history and see the car cold, so starting problems show. Take a test drive on a mix of roads, and read any dashboard warnings with a diagnostic tool if possible.

• Timing chain and oil use · 1.6 THP petrol (Mk1)

  This turbo petrol engine is widely discussed for timing chain stretch, carbon build-up and oil consumption. Listen for rattle at cold start, check oil level and ask whether oil changes were done on time and with the correct grade.

• Wet timing belt service · 1.2 PureTech petrol (Mk2, Mk3)

  The three-cylinder 1.2 uses a timing belt running in oil. Owners and workshops often discuss belt wear and oil quality. Look for proof of belt replacement and regular oil changes, and note any rough running, warning lights or oil leaks.

• Particulate filter and emissions parts · Diesel (HDi, BlueHDi)

  Diesels used mostly for short trips can clog the particulate filter or EGR valve. Check for warning lights, loss of power and smoke. On BlueHDi cars, ask about the AdBlue system and whether any related faults were repaired.

• Gearbox behaviour · Automatic gearbox

  Drive the car in town and at speed. Shifts should be smooth with no jerking, flaring or delayed engagement. Ask whether the gearbox fluid was ever changed, as service intervals vary and records vary between sellers.

• Touchscreen and electronics · Mk2, Mk3

  Test the central screen for lag and dead patches, then try the navigation, phone link, parking sensors, cameras and driver assistance features. Check that every warning light goes out after starting and stays off.

• Charging and battery records · Hybrid, plug-in hybrid, electric

  On cars with a plug, check the charging port, the supplied cable and the charging history. Ask for a battery health report or dealer printout. Confirm that software updates and any open recall work were completed.
