There are currently 5 used Peugeot 2008 models listed on Motoring Today, with available years spanning from 2015 to 2025. Understanding the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), often called road tax, for any of these cars requires knowing its specific first registration date and its CO2 emissions or fuel type. Unlike new cars, the VED for a used car is determined by its characteristics at the point of its original registration. For Peugeot 2008 models first registered before 1 April 2017, the annual VED rate is calculated purely based on the vehicle's CO2 emissions, falling into one of several tax bands. However, for Peugeot 2008s registered from 1 April 2017 onwards, a different system applies. These cars initially pay a higher first-year rate based on CO2 emissions, followed by a flat standard rate in subsequent years. Additionally, cars with a list price exceeding £40,000 when new are subject to an annual surcharge for five years from the second year of registration. Fully electric cars, while previously exempt, are set to incur VED from April 2025. Because the exact VED amount for a used Peugeot 2008 depends entirely on its individual details, we cannot provide a universal figure here. It is crucial to check the specific first registration date, CO2 emissions, and fuel type for any Peugeot 2008 you are interested in. This information, alongside other vital details like ULEZ status and full MOT history, is available in every listing on Motoring Today.

Frequently asked questions

How much is road tax on a Peugeot 2008?
A Peugeot 2008 registered on or after 1 April 2017 pays the flat standard rate of £200 a year for 2026/27. Cars registered between March 2001 and March 2017 pay a CO₂-based band instead. If the car cost over £40,000 new, add the £440/yr expensive-car supplement in years 2–6.
Do electric Peugeot 2008s pay road tax?
Yes — since 1 April 2025 zero-emission cars pay VED. A new electric car pays £10 in its first year, then the £200 standard rate; electric cars registered before April 2025 also pay £200. Electric cars registered before March 2017 pay £20.
What is the expensive-car (£40,000) supplement?
Cars with a list price over £40,000 when new pay an extra £440 a year on top of the standard rate for five years, starting from the second licence (years 2–6). For zero-emission cars registered from 1 April 2025 the threshold is £50,000. It is based on the list price when new, not the price you pay used.
How is road tax calculated for the Peugeot 2008?
For cars registered from April 2017, VED is a first-year "showroom" rate based on CO₂ emissions, then the flat £200 standard rate every year after. Older cars (2001–2017) stay on the CO₂ band system (bands A–M). You can check the exact rate for any specific car by its registration on the DVLA vehicle-tax service.
How does used-car road tax work in the UK?
For cars first registered from April 2017, VED is generally a first-year rate followed by a standard flat rate, with a potential surcharge for cars that had a list price over £40,000. Cars registered before April 2017 are taxed based on their CO2 emission bands.
How many Peugeot 2008s are for sale?
