People crap on Peugeots a lot but I have driven them most of my life and have always gone back to them after trying other marques, experienced very few issues.
They are sturdier than most cars the ride is comfortable and the kit inside is generous and the seats are good. But if you have issues with a Peugeot it can get expensive and most of the electrical items are poor quality switches etc.
Just starting the vid. Playing High Peak Bingo - Headlamp buff. New plates to instantly lift. A £15 mini valet, 3 types of budget Chinese tyre, including a mismatched axle. And something unexpected in the boot.
I play along with a quiz of my own: 10 points for two keys, 20 points for matching tyres, 30 points for functioning air con, and 100 bonus points if he wipes the dipstick on the engine cover.
All Peugeot 308's slightly pull left, it is normal. The Peugeot dealers call it "wondering" and it has been designed that way. I have a 2009 Peugeot 308 1.6 vti petrol automatic with 92K on the clock. I love it and it drives like dream. It is Euro4 so I will keep it as much as it goes really. Their steering wheels get worn rather quickly though. I truly enjoyed this video.
You recently mentioned that some brands dont deserve their reputation for being robust (Volvo). Peugeots go the other way; ive has a couple and they've been really strong cars
New Volvos, I assume? His opinion when he did the road trip in a V70 seemed quite the contrary. The pre-SPA (~2015) and especially pre-P3 (~2007) Volvos with actual Volvo engines get sold with 250K+ miles on them because the owner kicked the bucket before the car did around here. I think they definitely /earned/ their reputation for being robust, they just perhaps don't deserve to continue waving that banner in the current decade.
Despite the poor reviews that some people give Peugeot, I bought a nine year old 206 diesel in 2014 for our daughters to use when learning to drive. It had about 70,000 miles on it. We live in France, but I sourced a left hand drive French registered car from a dealer in the UK. It was quite a high spec with aircon, electric windows, cruise control, cd player and steering wheel controls; They were of a similar mind to you, in doing what needed to be done. Cambelt change, service, four new tyres, new exhaust, wiper blades and a couple of other things. I paid £1750 for it and both our daughters had a lot of use from it. I drove it back to the UK several times and it never missed a beat. I sold it five years later when both daughters had their own cars, getting just under £1400 for it. A great little car and I'd have another. I've also recommended the garage to numerous people. Treat people correctly, being honest as you do, pays dividends.
You said it all. Absolute banger of a car, excellent for young drivers, cheap and easy to maintain even by oneself and still has a relevant look today (but starting to show its age though)...definitely a hall of famer
Had one of those as my first car in 2017, my grandad bought it new in 2009 and only done 25k in 8 years. I ran in until late 2020 then sold it with 65k on the clock. Neither my grandad or I had a single issue.
I've owned one of these cars for 6 years and never had any issues, top cheap car. The only annoying thing is that the air filter is behind the engine and its a pain to replace 😉
You will only see the glow-plug light below zero degrees on these cars. The 8v version of the 1.6 diesel called 92 or 115 are quite reliable and don't have the soot issues of the first generation 16v 1.6. They are also too old to have AdBlue. Actually a pretty roomy, comfortable and reliable car.
@@rahulramanathan5737 i went for a fiat 500L privately. Matt hasn't bought any (on video) but if you have a model you're looking at definitely recomend looking to see if he has traded any
I did chuckle when you found the 'old' pound coins. I was a member of a gym for 4 years, paying a monthly subscription and always had a single £1 coin in my gym bag. The second time I went, the 'old' £1 coin had been out of circulation for over 3 years. Yes. I am unfit and lazy.
I had an old 405, then a big 605. Both had engine problems and not great build quality. What i did like was the ride. They both had terrific suspension. I dont know if its still true for new cars today but the older french ones had plush suspension, whereas the german ones were better built but rode too hard. Thats a decent commuter for a year or two by the look.
Winner winner chicken dinner, that was so satisfying seeing you come under budget AND a cambelt sticker too! I’m a long time watcher and don’t think I’ve seen many if any of these vids where you don’t massively over spend, you definitely got lucky this time!
I have a friend which used to have one of these he got for free from his grandma which can't drive anymore. It had (which is still in his family, passed down to his sister) 1.6 petrol engine with 120HP and I was surprised how good that car was driving. The only thing it had wrong was the AC stopped blowing cold air but a quick refill and everything was well. Another thing is the roof padding was really soggy so it looked like a tent on the inside and there was always a low engine oil level on startup (which he checked manually and it was always full) but other than that it was a great car. The one thing that I truly loved about the car is the amount of room you have in the backseats, something you usually don't see in a hatchback even if its fairly big for one.
I had a Peugeot 308 like this but silver and it had this outstanding feature where the turbo would sometimes turn itself off to prevent me from speeding above 50 preventing me from getting into an accident! How neat!
If it still passes MOT I wouldn't really care. These cars are really cheap nowadays and I wouldn't see any reason to sort everything out 100% if its still doing the job well.
@@jeremywentworth1833 yeah I agree 2 grand is steep. I mean 1495 is on the higher end of pricing with those miles and it's 15 years old, but honestly for that kind of money it's well presented so pushes up the value I guess, might do someone for another 2-3y if they look after it.
Peugeot has good corrosion resistance. And pretty good mechanical durability with the diesels. I really dont like the styling though. The next 308 is a lot better looking and the version after that is better still. Handsome even. Great value at that price.
It just goes to show that if you look after a car, it has a fighting chance of lasting. Those front tyres alone would've been worth nearly as much as you bought the car for, though somewhat cheaper than the 195 width tyres (ask me how I know), and Nera Black does look good when it's not full of swirls (again, ask me how I know).
I'd definitely have this myself. Really not a bad car. Yes, not the most handsome, but to get you about, you can't go wrong. Be nice and cheap to run, too.
We used to have a 308 diesel just like this. I really liked it and would often drive it over our new I40 as it was so comfy and smooth. Also great on fuel really good little car.
When I saw the Michelin’s all round I wanted this to not be condemned. It just proves Matt’s point; if people bother to look after cars, they will last.
I just looked at online classifieds here in France. Plenty at that age with 230k to 300k kilometres and more, priced from 2500 to 4000 Euros. Different market, different values.
I bought a 2008. Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi in 2018 after my Vectra went to car heaven, it was very reliable, was cheap to run and was cheap on parts, all round it was a excellent purchase, I did over 50,000 miles in it within 2 years, the Electrics gave up on it, I scrapped it as the wiring loom was starting to melt,
A young lady bought my parents' peugeot 107 for that sum many years ago. Her mechanic boyfriend viewed it with her and checked over the old, full service history but low mileage car and she bought it on the spot.
Glad to see it worked out well 👍🏼. Low fuel makes me nervous with the 1.6 Hdi or TDCi in Ford’s, not an engine you want to run out of diesel as you can’t just put more in and restart it. Did a fuel filter on a focus once and it wouldn’t restart, had to force fuel into the filter to ensure it didn’t suck air. Don’t want to do one again 🫣. I’m sure someone with more mechanical knowledge can explain it better. I think there’s no pump in the tank and it uses a Vaccum to get the fuel from the tank instead.

my first car was a wee peugeot 308 4 door , i loved it very reliable got me to the building sites and back 5 days a week for a few year , then had a mazda mx6 again a lovely car then a new merc then a shyte bmw since then 7 jags
I owned the 1.6T petrol GT version of the 308 back in 2011. It was well specced, and typically ‘different’ designed, but overall was nice. Only thing that let the entire range down was the terrible engines… underpowered, overworked, and completely lacklustre. Practically spaced cars, and the estate (as ugly as it is) had 7 seat options from memory
I had the 175 GT and suffered the same issues, plus the clutch slave cylinder failed twice. Luckily the warranty saved me from two £1300 bills. I actually liked the car but it wasn't trustworthy.
@@ademiravdic better than their petrol offerings, but still insanely pathetic and unreliable, when compared to competitors on the market. Which is a great shame, when some of cars look very nice and have some of the best interior looks of non-luxury vehicles.
I drive a Citroen Grand C4 now, and wife drives a Peugeot 208. Build quality is questionable with the interior and the cup holders are a joke... But we look after them and mechanically they're sound.
The UK seems to be the only country to slate French cars. Most of Europe as far as I can see buy them as 4 wheels to use as transport not coveted possessions. I have had Renault, Peugeot and Citroen never had electrical problems at all. Had an axle failure on an ancient 206 (same as any old torsion bar). All have been serviced by me and been great cars. Not one of these cars afflicted with rusting body or chassis unlike older cars. All my cars have been older gen but I would have no hesitation in buying that car here😊. Some of us are forced or prefer to run “crap” cars and this is an excellent car for some
I bought one of these (while waiting for the next lease car to arrive) same age auto with with 63000 miles , It was tatty and worn out steering wheel as well which I covered with a leather wrap around. I paid £1000 for it and after 6 months and 6000 miles I sold it to my barber for £900. Other than oil drips it was pretty reliable. Update: 2 years on the barber is still driving it.
After the joke 307 they invested a lot in 308 and they are very underrated, we've had four, over 15 years, without any major, just change the oil and filter regularly, use decent diesel, bargain, these pre dpf ones are even better than the later ones and 30 road tax 👍
I remember my mums old car and it was the 1.4 petrol, the first car I drove for a while after passing my test. With more than one person in the car, it struggled to get up motorway slip roads uphill hahaha
What a result! Not often you can say you've under spent and have a healthy potential profit. I'm a little disappointed that for £250 it didn't sound like a washing machine full of rolling pins but we can't have everything can we 😂
I am glad you can finally make a heathy profit because someone looked after this car 🙂You found the pen and you can use old one pound coin as a token to shopping trolley.
Well you picked a blinder there, so what did you sell it for as you never tells us if it went for the asking price be good to know and follow the journey of the car to the end, great video 👌👍
That appears to be the only Peugeot 308 that someone has taken care of throughout its life

Not a bad looking car at all. Peugeots are a bit quirky but they do make decent engines.

It's only cheap as it's a part x us average people have to pay 800 plus 😢😢
Nice little car for someone - well cared for by previous owner. Ah, you left the poppy on! Looks nice against the black paint 😊
A properly bargain. Not sure why there’s a mini coat hanger dangling from the drivers window though 🤣
Great video HPA, great work Matt,I don't mind a Peugeot, especially a diesel, great engines👌👍😀
What a result! Not often you can say you've under spent and have a healthy potential profit. I'm a little disappointed that for £250 it didn't sound like a washing machine full of rolling pins but we can't have everything can we 😂
I am glad you can finally make a heathy profit because someone looked after this car 🙂You found the pen and you can use old one pound coin as a token to shopping trolley.
No need to replace steering wheel just advertise it as sport alcantara
97.4 used to be Hallam FM when I stupidly listened to the mainstream media!!
HI, as a retired garage proprietor and mot tester , Michelin tryes are prone for the
sidewalls cracking .Not my favorite tyre.
Indeed I prefer Continentals.
Glad you left the poppy on!
Well you picked a blinder there, so what did you sell it for as you never tells us if it went for the asking price be good to know and follow the journey of the car to the end, great video 👌👍
It's on the forecourt now but the website says it must be trailered away 🤔
