“Someone’s had a gift voucher from Halfords and wanted to spend every penny” 😂😂😂

I bought a facelift model new in 2014 and I still have it. I’ve had many cars over the last 50 years and this one has been the best car I have owned. The build quality is superb and the car has been reliable and economical, averaging 55mpg driving smoothly and gently. The local Peugeot dealer has offered me £3000 to part exchange which is ridiculous. I have looked after the car and have decided to keep it for as long as possible. I am certainly not paying £20,000 upwards, plus my car for a three year old car which won’t do any more than my present car.

It's much easier for the new owner to remove something they don't like than have to pay to have it fitted..so i think that was a good shout leaving it all in

Big props to the previous owner for clearly loving this car and preventing Matt from buying a Turkey!

Of course we have faith in you. Looks like a decent car with minimal amount of money needed to make it great. Love the jacket you had on.

Matt, Kormoran tyres are a Polish brand owned by Michelin. I recently put a set of Kormoran All Seasons on the Micra K12 that I use for commuting and I have to say they are superb. Really good grip in all the different weather we've had recently.

My mum bought a 65 plate C4 Cactus with a semi automatic in 2021, the gearbox went after 2 months of owning it. Luckily it was under warranty, we had it sorted, ended up part exchanging it straight after!

Neighbours of mine have one of these - they also have two sets of young twins and a dog. It is driven carefully, with by the book servicing. No issues and fine for their needs. The dog is a Cavapoo and doesn't shed hair. Like you, they say it doesn't respond well to aggressive driving but fine for tours and everyday needs.

Hi Matt I brought a 12 - plate 3008 1.6Hdi manual back in Dec 16 with 55000 and had NO issues in the 5 years and 40000miles of ownership and it PASSED every MOT.....so I brought a facelift 16-plate BlueHDi in Dec 2021 and so far so good. Averaging 45-50mpg and they both averaged 65/68mpg on a long run

One thing I’ll give French PSA stuff, they don’t rust, not sure if that’s because the rest of the car will fall to bits before it has the opportunity 😂 but in reality I think they have a good anti corrosion treatment .

You need to buy a cheap Dacia next

Love how you're honest about purchase price and profit and absolutely nothing to hide .

Hi Matt. Kormoran Tyres is actually brand owned by Michelin Tyres and producing tyres under their licence mainly for Eastern European markets. Not bad tyres

Kormoran are budget tires. They are made in Serbia by Tigar company. You have brands like Tigar, Kormoran, Orium, Riken all with same thread, just different stamp for different markets. Tigar is owned by Michelin.

Love the videos, Very informative and learn a lot! Keep them going!

Another great video matt looks a nice motor and good to see you had no horror stories from your mechanic good luck with the sale 👍

I knew this would be a winner from the start, what possibly could have gone wrong 😂 Well done Matt great result..👍🏻

Another great video, really enjoying your video's

Another brilliant video mate 👍

I've got one of these and after two years so far so good. The wind deflectors may be unsightly but they are needed as you get that wind buffeting noise when driving with a window down. I like it's ugliness too!

The ECG box is pretty good once you get used to it. I had a C4 Picasso which I did 130k in on the original clutch. It was smooth as long as you anticipated the gear change and not rev the nuts off of it.

Great video. I had a similar one for 5 years and it never let me down. Bought the new style 3008 last year and it's never out garage.

It has finally happened.. you made a video with a Peugeot!

It seems a smooth box is all thats needed to put a smile on your face Matt!!

You were absolutely right Matt, when you said that any car can be reliable, if its properly looked after! Even the French stuff! These are a really good seller, and a well thought out family car. Plenty of market for this type of thing.

8:44 “so you can cope with all the g-force on bends” 😂 14:47 “If you’re heavy footed with them, you will get whiplash” 😂

Another good video with your humour. Keep up the Great work.

Great videos greetings from Australia !

Yes, you got a Peugeot, I love Peugeots! Cars full of allure

A new High Peak Auto's video. Got my High Peak Bingo Card ready. Going for "Welcome baaaaack....", "The headlights need buffing", "A new set of plates would instantly lift it", "They're going to hate me at the valeters" and "Do we have matching tyres.... No...!" and possibly "Why *Do* people do that... " referring to either a steering wheel cover, seatbelt pad or thedirty/doggy state of the car.

Bit weird that they didn't take their dashcam out. Might be interesting to view the footage to see what kind of person owned it. But it was clearly someone's pride-and-joy. Looks well looked after and cared for. Should make good family transport for someone.

Great video and I’m glad the gearbox didn’t just surrender and give up 😉

Not a bad motor Matt. Well done!

I particularly enjoyed the part where you staged the outside cameras to be right in line of sight of the pterodactyl turds 😂

Bought a car last night, did a car vertical check and every thing came back positive. Test drove the car and fell in love. But not only that the same model of car at a dodgy dealership listed everything as perfect but after the car vertical check on that showed A LOT of problems and they clearly wanted to mug me off. So thank you for saving me 👍 I will now always use car vertical before buying a second hand car

Another excellent video Matt , pleased you got a good profit in this one 👍

Another great video from you Matt. I'm a car add comber even if I am not buying because I love to see whats what. I also like the 3008, and in a search, I found a 2010 3008 1.6 HDi with 216,000 miles on the clock so if you're 3008 had needed a new gearbox I would have done it because if looked after, there is another 100,000 miles left on that car. I was recently walking past my local petrol station, and a 307 diesel drove out of it, and it was 2005

I've had my fingers crossed throughout the entire video, and it paid off 😁😁😁 Good video, Matt.

Consecutive videos making profit! Nice one Matt.

Nice car Matt and as usual a great video with funny quips 😅

Iv got a Peugeot 5008 .. it's done 153k iv done at least 70k apart from tyres brakes, timing belt, water pump that's it I love it use it as a van as the front seat folds flat so I can get 3m lengths of wood in it I'd buy another one tomorrow..

Another great watch, you do find some lovely country roads to drive down.

Never really was a fan of Peugeot and yet a year ago I had a 2008 on hire for a week and rather liked it. Good looking, practical, comfortable and nice riding. A good car. I think Peugeot are doing good stuff these days.

I've spent quite a bit of time in various Peugeots. I liked the 504 really liked the 505 Gti, and thought the 309 was more grown up than the contemporary Escort and Astra. But..... er, the DS3 I used as a courtesy car wound me up as for 4 days I couldn't work out how to retune the radio, or even turn it off. It was via a touch screen. I work for a certain police force and during lockdown was on different duties and travelled all over the North West, Staffordshire, North Wales and up to the Scottish Borders. I did that in a Peugeot 307 with the 1.6 diesel. It was great, until about 70,000 miles it broke down on the motorway and had to be recovered. It was back a week later, and then broke down again three days later. It went back on a truck. It came back again a week later and lasted all of three hours before...... it was on the back of a truck. It was destined for only one fate, namely to limp through the auctions. Cue the arrival of a Hyundau i30. With more miles on it than the 307. It was faultless. Since then I've used quite a few 308s and they've been OK. We've tended to have the 1.2 three cylinder variant which go quite well, for a while. Once they get up above 75,000 miles they drink more oil than l do beer, in a figurative sense. You could check the level at the start of the shift and it was full. The next shift would come on and it would be halfway down. In some cases you'd get a message saying "STOP!!". At one stage the decision was made to swap the engine of one for another that had been written off. That engine had about 20K on the clock. A week later the expansion tank contained a black liquid instead of pink. Back to workshop and another engine transplant. If you were getting one on PCP and gave it back with 30K showing it could be a good car to have. But if you are the third owner with quite a lot of miles on the clock, I'd suggest parking it behind a reversing HGV and run away.

I've had a nearly new Peugeot 405 1.6GR 93K for £10,995, 405 1.9TD GLX 95N, 406 2.1TD 97P&2.0HDI 54 run-out both 110bhp. All my Peugeot's were great car's.

Great video HPA,nice car, great spec😀👌👍

I once had a 3008 as a company car. It was the desiel hybrid. Ugly car but superbly comfortable, 60+mpg and extremely practical. 3 years and over 60k or trouble free driving.

Had a 2012 508 e-hdi with the semi auto box and had no issues with it for 5 years . 110k on the clock and traded it in for a auris hybrid but miss the interior quality of the 508 . Compared to other peugeots the 508 has an amazing interior with really decent quality . Once you look after them and service regularly they should be pretty reliable.

We run one of these, the facelift model, with the full automatic Toyota gearbox, great car, if it's the 1.6 diesel, you should change the oil frequently, I do mine even 7000 miles, also with the facelift the addblue systems are garbage, but these are pretty good cars. The 2.0 hdi can cause you problems but there are not many of these around. Great review too.

thanks for doing this ..been waiting i do like this cars .... could be my next car after my focus .... look very pratical

Kormoran/Riken both owned by michelin, the tyres themselves are budget/mid range so not the worse tbh.

Another great video!

Great video!

Fantastic car well done matt 👏

Great video as ever Matt. But what a hideous machine, it looks like a jelly mould. My wife had a Peugeot 308SW and we will never forget driving on one journey looking back out our girls in the back engulfed in smoke. I stopped the car immediately and we all jumped out as the smoke completely filled the cabin. luckily it didn't catch on fire and the cause later identified as a wiring issue. No surprise that nobody in the family ever wanted to travel in it again and we will never own a Peugeot again.

fun video love your humour ,a good family car m8

Thanks Matt😀

Welcome back!

The grab handle made me spit out my tea Matt 😂🤣👌

Hi Matt a good service history thought profit in this car well done again nice video as ever

Hi Matt a funny, honest car review. A reliable Peugeot 3008 with full service history! Where would you expect to find such a French used car! Good profit margin when sold. Keep up the excellent work !

Had a Hybrid4 version which massively improves the the auto box much changes. Great car and cost me nothing other than servicing/tyres in 50k miles.

@High Peak Autos: Kormoran tyres are produced by Polish company Stomil-Olsztyn. The brand has been around since 1994, but the manufacturing facility actually began producing tyres in 1959. That long history itself is reassuring, but what really makes the case for Kormoran is its ownership. The Kormoran brand is part of the Michelin group

That EGC box is known to be a nightmare. I worked for a Pug dealership years ago. Saw loads of unhappy semi auto buyers. You don’t have to release that handbrake to pull away. The car will know you are wanting to move and release it automatically. It’s an exclusive trim level. Top of the range. Ugly cars, but I would only ever buy one with a manual box. Great vid.👍🍻

Another good video Matt 🚗🚙🚘⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍

Hi Matt, lovely looking car and a profit, wtg 👍 you. another entertaining video, all the best from Nick the Lexus guy Wolsingham.

The wind deflectors are good if it’s been raining and you need some fresh air the rain water on the car then doesn’t come in all over your door switches

My first job was at a Peugeot dealer in Sheffield. The year was 1992, and I got to drive loads of cars, which for a 17-year-old car nerd, was my dream job.😃

You reminded me of my old golf instructor who'd say 'i see your still practicing your old mistakes '. At last, clawing back on lost causes, glad it worked out well. Never fancied Peugeot Citroen or Renault, only the odd VW ever catches my eye. Preference Japanese Honda Mazda. Even Nissan.

My grandparents had a manual one ages ago, not a bad car; however, this one you have purchased has all the works.

Had my 2013 3008 semi auto for 8 years I've done 100,000 miles, nothing ever gone wrong apart from general pads and discs etc . Roll of the dice as you say but look after them, all good.

I bought a 2014 automatic 3008 41000 miles with full service history, an amazing car I love it, was kinda scared after watching your video on this car but it has been looked after and it's all good 👌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You win some, you lose some, today you are a winner Matt 👍

Another winner…..well done 👍

Reminds me of my Grandad’s cars, he loved to add every accessory possible!

Hi Matt another video I enjoyed very much…looking forward to when you do a review of my car The Alfa Giulia 😁

Hi Matt, I am a Peugeot fan. I have had a 5008 for nearly six years. 1.6 Hdi manual. Trouble free to 86000 at the moment and 55 plus MPG. Serviced by the book. Certainly one of the best cars I have owned. Had 2 Citroen Synergies before it. Great cars too. IO will never understand the obsession with German stuff. IOt just ain't better. No way

Tea almost went everywhere. "so you can cope with all the g forces"😂, never change.

Great video - I am impressed that you can purchase a car, which neither you nor I would probably ever wish to own ourselves. Making that sort i of profit is almost ‘standard’ retail mark-up when selling at retail. Of course this is a fairly old fashioned view, & and as you have pointed out, rare in the used car market. On the other extreme, a lot of antique & collectible items dealers often expect 100%. As soon as you opened the doors of this car, I could see all the signs of an elderly owner - as for looking after ageing second hand cars - yes, look after them & they will (usually) look after you. Though there are some ‘middle-aged cars which really should be pushed hard fairly frequently, the DPF warning will come on.

Kormoran is a brand of tires manufactured by the Michelin concern in the plant in Olsztyn, formerly known as Stomil. Kormoran brand products have retained the traditional logo of the Olsztyn factory, they maintain the tradition of Polish tire industry dating back to the 1960s in this city.

13:01 paddles like Jenson Button 15:20 manual like Michael Schumacher How do you come up with these gems? :D

Great videos as always Matt, wee question for you if you have a moment. You replaced just one tyre on the car (the one with the chunk out of it) keep hearing people say you always have to replace tyres in pairs due to the traction control having issues if the tyres have a different rolling diameter… is that just someone selling a 2nd tyre that’s not needed?

The model after this one is far superior with 8 speed Aisin auto box, eat8. Had minex5 years and love it and had the previous model for three years. Power boot, opening pan sunroof, 19 inch wheels averages 60 mpg without motorway miles too.

Been treating us with these videos this week👍🏼👀

I have just this week sold my 2013 manual 3008. I had it for 5 years and the only issue i had was a fuel rail pressure sensor go bad £30 repair and very occasionally a handbrake fault but if you remove the switch and dismantle & clean it it works fine, dirt gets inside it so a good clean with electrical cleaner does the trick. If you service it properly they are very good cars. I think when these first came out they had an injector issue but i think a recall fixed it.

The holy trinity of aftermarket tat: steering wheel cover, wind deflectors and seat belt protectors..

The bonnet view of the bird shit looked fantastic in HD on my 55” TV, so thanks for that. 😂

Great video Matt! The camera work was doing a few cheeky bird poo close ups!

Another great video Matt. Random one, what jacket is that you've got on in the first half?.

That torch/boot light reminded me of a Skoda favorit I used to have, how upmarket 😂

Great, interesting video, Matt, you really took a flyer with that semi auto. The key question though is- do you think the previous owner looked after it? You were hedging around that quite a lot throughout the video...

Insane is saying alright guys, how is it going, welcome back with you each time launching one of your videos

I went to see one of these recently, took it for a test drive and it was in limp mode! ended up steering clear and got a honda CRV instead. Much nicer car.

Hi matt ive been following you for while really love the channel. I've just been water in oil scammed on my mercedes grand edition just wondering if you could mention something in future videos as a warning for all the genuine buyers out there. 😢

Hi Matt, how do you deal with oil leaks or weeping on valve cover gaskets even though no drips on ground. I noticed people get really concerned about any oil. Great videos.

I used to have a 508 estate. Pan roof! It was lovely. But the semi auto let it down. The 2 litre diesel had the ZF gearboxes. I'm in the market for a bigger car now, but I need to look at a WAV. Keep getting distracted by all these great cars though! 😂

Honestly I'm not just saying this bit I think these old shape 3008 are bloddy brilliant , I work as a trade plate driver all over the uk so get to drive everything , but these 3008 in the right spec is one of the most comfy relaxing practical cars on the road especially for the price , there like a Peugeot version of a volvo v70

Hi Matt, good result! Ever tempted to have your own workshop or do you like to farm it out?

The boot light that is also a torch is a fantastic idea I would rather that than a pair of umbrellas tethered in the boot

I really thought u were going to say "Sa-a-ad" at 12.45 Matt 😂
