There were not enough MOT tests of Peugeot 408s in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.
Registrations of Peugeot 408s for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 3,515 in 2024. In 2025, 1,270 were registered.

DVSA lists 7 safety recalls for the Peugeot 408 since 1992, the first in 2023. The most recent was launched on 3 June 2026.
All 7 Peugeot 408 recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Peugeot 408. 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.
