Car statistics
How many Peugeot 2008s are still on the road in Great Britain, how many are declared off the road, how new registrations have changed and which fuels they use. Built from DVLA licensing records and 144,978 DVSA MOT tests.
There were 201,583 Peugeot 2008s licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 2,940 declared off the road (SORN). That is the most on the road at any year end since 2013.
Numbers are still rising: the latest count is the highest in this series.

In 2025, 74.0% of Peugeot 2008 MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages as the Peugeot 2008s tested pass 79.8% of the time, so the Peugeot 2008 does worse than average for its age, by 5.8 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 73.9%.
Comparing like with like: each bar pair covers cars of the same age, so an older average age does not count against a model.

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment is the most common reason a Peugeot 2008 fails its MOT, appearing on 38.8% of failed tests. A failed test can have defects in more than one category, so shares add up to more than 100%. 5.3% of Peugeot 2008 tests found at least one dangerous defect, against 7.3% for all cars.

The single most common reason a Peugeot 2008 failed its MOT in 2025 was “Drive shafts: constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt”, on 23.6% of 37,650 failed tests. 49.2% of tests ended with at least one advisory, a problem to watch that did not fail the test; the most common was “Tread depth: worn close to legal limit or worn on edge”. The same fault on any wheel or side counts once.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Peugeot 2008 from 2013, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2019 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol, diesel and petrol hybrid versions ranges from 39.1 to 67.0 mpg, with CO2 of 102 to 163 g/km; electric versions have an official range of 191 to 271 miles. On the older NEDC test (listings 2013 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 39.2 to 80.7 mpg, with CO2 of 90 to 172 g/km.

DVSA lists 39 safety recalls for the Peugeot 2008 since 1992, the first in 2014. The most recent was launched on 27 April 2026.
All 39 Peugeot 2008 recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Peugeot 2008. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
