The 2008 is Peugeot’s answer to buyers in the Emirates who want a compact SUV with a cabin that looks and feels different from the usual Japanese and Korean default.
How much does a used Peugeot 2008 cost in the UAE?
AED 21000 for a 2018-era car up to AED 65000 for one closer to 2023 — that six-year spread lines up with a full platform change partway through, so the price gap reflects a genuinely different car, not just wear.
Which used Peugeot 2008 year should you buy?
2019 or later, when Peugeot moved the 2008 onto its current platform with a bigger cabin and updated interior — the earlier, smaller car is worth seeking out only if the lower price matters more to you than the newer layout.
How long does a Peugeot 2008 last?
Reasonably dependable on the evidence so far — cars we inspect here run a median of around 52,000 km with no dominant fault pattern emerging. Servicing on schedule matters more on a French car than a Japanese one in this segment, so a full stamped history is worth paying up for.
2008 or Honda CR-V?
The CR-V costs more and is the safer long-term ownership bet if parts and dealer coverage worry you, though a mechanical fault turns up on it above the rate we would expect for the class. The Kicks is cheaper and shows more prior body or panel repair than the 2008, which narrows the gap between them. Peugeot’s own 3008 sits above it in size and posts a better interior-condition record if you can stretch the budget.
What to look over on a used Peugeot 2008
- Confirm the generation — pre- or post-2019 — matches what you expect from photos.
- Full Peugeot service history, since scheduled maintenance matters more here.
- Electrical systems and infotainment for glitches on start-up.
- Parts cost at your nearest dealer before you commit to the purchase.
