Is a used Peugeot 408 saloon reliable?
The Peugeot 408 is yet to appear in our What Car? Reliability Survey. However, as a car brand, Peugeot ranked 21st out of 32 manufacturers featured. Its reliability score of 90.5% makes Peugeot cars more reliable than Alfa Romeo and Vauxhalls, but less reliable than Ford and Skodas, for instance.
Based on that alone, the 408 should be more reliable than the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, but less reliable than the Skoda Octavia Estate.
