Peugeot 2008 A94
The first-generation Peugeot 2008 (A94) is a five-door SUV/crossover built from 2013 to 2019, sharing its platform and much of its engine range with the 208 hatchback. Petrol power comes from the naturally aspirated 1.2 VTi (EB2) and 1.6 VTi (EP6), and the turbocharged 1.6 THP (EP6DT). Diesels are the 1.4 HDi (DV4TD) and the 1.6 e-HDi/BlueHDi (DV6C).
Because this generation shares its engines with the 208 documented elsewhere in this contour, the same inspection routes apply directly: the wet-belt check for the 1.2 VTi, the timing-drive listening check for the 1.6 VTi and THP, and the EGR/turbo-oil-supply checks for the diesels. What is worth confirming specifically on this bodyshell is that you are looking at the 2008 and not its 208 sibling, since they share mechanicals but differ in body style and ride height.
To judge a specific 2008, confirm the body and ride height match what you expect for this generation, and cross-check the engine against the applications documented for it. Get a full fault-code read across all control units and keep the printout.

Pre-purchase checklist
- ☐Confirm this is the 2008 (5-door SUV/crossover), not the 208 hatchback — the two share a platform and engine range but different bodies and ride height
- ☐Have a full fault-code read done across all control units on this 2008 and take a copy with you
- ☐This engine uses a wet timing belt — one that runs inside the oil system rather than externally — so ask specifically whether the belt has ever been replaced and what the interval was, since a wet belt behaves very differently from an external one
