Used Peugeot 408 for sale in Europe

About the Peugeot 408

The Peugeot 408 is a five-door fastback that combines a sloping roofline with the higher ride height of a crossover. It arrived in 2022 and sits above the 308 in the Peugeot range. It is built on a Stellantis platform related to the 308 and shares many parts with other group models.

Engines in general terms: a 1.2-litre three-cylinder PureTech petrol with an automatic gearbox, a plug-in hybrid that pairs a 1.6-litre petrol engine with an electric motor, and a battery-electric version called the E-408. Listings also include hybrid versions. Check the exact powertrain in each advert.

It suits drivers who want a roomy, comfortable car for family use and longer trips, and who like a distinctive shape. The tailgate opens as a hatch, so the boot is practical. Because the model is recent, most used cars are still young and often have remaining manufacturer cover.

Typical prices

Asking prices in our listings rise clearly with newer model years. Cars from 2023 have a median of 22,700 euros, 2024 cars sit at 24,000 euros and 2025 cars at 27,000 euros. Model year 2026 cars reach a median of 36,100 euros, which reflects near-new stock. Fuel type, trim level and mileage also move prices, so a plug-in hybrid or electric car can sit well away from a petrol car of the same year.

What to check when buying a used Peugeot 408

Start with the service history and a full test drive that covers town speeds, a motorway stretch and a cold start. Compare the car's equipment against the original specification, as trims and options differ widely.

• Engine belt and oil care · 1.2 PureTech petrol

  PureTech engines are widely discussed for their timing belt running in oil. Ask for proof of oil changes at the intervals Peugeot specifies, and check which belt or chain the car has. Poor oil care can shorten belt life.

• Gearbox behaviour · Automatic gearbox

  Most cars use an eight-speed automatic. On the test drive, check for smooth pull-away, clean shifts up and down, and no flare or jerking at low speed. Ask whether any software updates or gearbox servicing have been recorded.

• Hybrid system and cable · Plug-in hybrid

  Confirm the car charges and switches between electric and petrol modes without warning lights. Check the charging socket for damage, and make sure the original charging cable is included. Ask for evidence of any hybrid system checks at the dealer.

• Battery and charging checks · Electric E-408

  Ask for a battery state-of-health report or a dealer diagnostic. Test both AC and fast DC charging if possible. Look at the charging port and cable for wear, and make sure the car shows its expected range.

• Software and infotainment

  The 408 relies heavily on its touchscreen and digital instrument panel. Test the screen response, camera views, driver assistance and phone connection. Ask whether software updates have been installed, and check that no fault messages appear.

• Recalls and body condition

  Use the VIN to confirm any open recalls have been completed. Walk around the car in good light for wheel rim scuffs, paint chips and uneven panel gaps, and check the tailgate opens and closes smoothly.
