## Why this model

The Peugeot 5008 is a fantastic choice if you're looking for a stylish and practical 7-seater SUV. It stands out with its distinctive looks, comfortable interior, and surprisingly agile handling for its size. It's a great family car, offering plenty of space and a modern, tech-filled cabin that feels a bit more special than some rivals. The 1.5 BlueHDi diesel engine is a solid performer, offering a good balance of power and excellent fuel economy, which is a big plus for longer family trips.

## What you should pay

Based on current UK market data for February 2026, a 2021 Peugeot 5008 GT 1.5 BlueHDi with around 30,000-50,000 miles typically sells for around £16,075. This price reflects the depreciation curve for a 3-4 year old family SUV, offering a significant saving over new while still having plenty of life left. Prices can vary slightly based on specific options, condition, and exact mileage, but this is a strong benchmark.

## Which trim to buy

The GT trim is definitely the one to go for if your budget allows. It's the top-spec model and really elevates the 5008's appeal. You get a much more premium feel with features like full LED headlights, larger alloy wheels, and often a more luxurious interior with Alcantara or leatherette trim. It also comes with more advanced safety and convenience features as standard, like adaptive cruise control. For the relatively small price difference on the used market compared to lower trims, the GT offers excellent value and a much nicer ownership experience, plus it tends to hold its value better too.

## What to check before you buy

- AdBlue system faults (common on many modern diesels)
- Infotainment system glitches
- Minor electrical gremlins
- Rattles from panoramic roof (if fitted)
- Wear and tear on interior plastics, especially in the third row

The 2021 Peugeot 5008 has already taken its biggest depreciation hit, making it a sweet spot for buying. From 2026 onwards, the annual value loss slows down considerably. You'll get a good 3-4 years of ownership before the depreciation curve flattens out significantly, meaning you won't lose a huge chunk of value when you eventually sell it on. Buying now means you're past the steepest part of the curve.

Total value lost since new: 30%.
