143,758 3008s had an MOT in 2025. 71.2% passed first time, against 75.9% for other cars of the same age and mileage.

Those registered from 2022 onwards pass as often as other cars their age.
Each dot compares how often 3008s of that year failed on one area of the test with cars of the same age and mileage.

Much worse: failed on that area at least 1.5 times as often. Worse: 1.15 to 1.5 times. Better: up to 0.87 times. Much better: two-thirds as often or less. Gaps under half a percentage point count as about the same. Registration year is the year the car was first used.
Well behind: 5 or more points below cars of the same age and mileage. Behind: 1.5 to 5 points below. Level: within 1.5 points. Ahead: 1.5 or more points above.
4.4% of 3008 MOTs failed on body and structure, against 2.1% for cars of the same age and mileage, and 1.3% on seat belts and supplementary restraint systems, against 0.6%.
Up to 30,000 miles, 3008s pass as often as cars of the same age and mileage. Behind from there: 30–60,000 miles 2.3 points, 60–90,000 miles 6.6 points, 90–120,000 miles 8.8 points, 120,000+ miles 10.6 points.
Diesels passed 65.5% first time, 6.6 points below comparable cars; petrols passed 80.6%, 1.8 points below comparable cars. Diesels had a median of 73,530 miles at the test, against 42,929 for petrols. Hybrids are mostly newer cars (median 33,920 miles), so compare them with care.

Data. Every car MOT in Great Britain in 2025 (31,475,521 first tests on cars first used 2005 to 2022), from DVSA's anonymised MOT test data. Retests are left out.
Passed first time. A car passed if its first test that year ended in a pass. Cars that failed and were fixed within the hour count as fails, as DVSA counts them.
Same age and mileage. We group every car by the year it was first used and its mileage (under 30k, 30–60k, 60–90k, 90–120k, over 120k). The comparison figure is what those groups scored, weighted to match the 3008's mix of ages and mileages.
Model. Every car DVSA records as a Peugeot 3008: 41 recorded model names, from "3008" to trims such as "3008 ALLURE PURETECH S/S".
