2012 peugeot cars is bad. Seriously. During 2013 i bought a new 308 turbo. My 308 keep having problems and after research, Around those years peugeot cars 2010-2016 are all shitty pile. I still have it because selling feels like at lost. So i bought a new suv 3008 at 2018. Better than those 2010-2016 years

I see , means Peugeot car so long made before 2016 , can say probably no need consider , right ? I did see some says on the forum that from 508 model onwards , Peugeot have improved on their reliability, heard some owners are happy with it ,service center has improved since then ( got some have issues with it also ), not sure how far it’s true la on the improvements said . I also saw some owners whom selling the car claimed that they changed very major parts such as entire engine , turbo system , aircond system and high pressure pump during warranty period . That send shivers immediately to me. Why would the entire engine need to be changed ? What went wrong ? And since there is no more warranty, how if I bought the car and some time later the engine need to change for the same reason as the previous owner ? I can’t imagine how much time and money need to be spent . I tried asking the seller Why change so many parts  , they said So that the car is like new and so that able to sell at higher price. Once again , I’m not sure how far this is true . I have scouted quite some cars so far and really, not that often I heard of owners get a new engine. Perhaps a really big red flag ?

Peugeot service centre like to ketuk one. Everytime i went for service, it cost me around 1.3k minimum, this is under their “free 5 years service” claim. Turns out its only labour charge that is free, everytime i send for service. Peugeot SC claim they need to replace this and that parts. So when u said the previous owner said he need change parts so its like new, honestly i chuckled a bit. I understand why he desperately need to sell the car. Even my old 308 feels like a burden.

I see , then I guess it’s safe to say you will never get another Peugeot again ?
1.3 k sounds pretty hefty for each service and doesn’t sound right to have parts changed that frequent .
May I know what parts you changed so far from your experience ?

Yes, I will never again buy peugeot. For the parts, they changed

-hydraulic for the car boot (no problem whatsoever suddenly change)
-window panel (works fine, after sending service suddenly problem, then came by 2nd time for them to fix it, they charged me, file complaint n maki them, they said next time problem they waive free panel change)
-dashboard color ( i dunno why need change, they claim new software system)

The others were essential parts like brake pad, timing belt, n etc. So i dont complain much

I saw one aunty on Citroen FB group. Her car was just finished warranty for a month and then the electronic parts which controls the wiper control k.o.

Sc ask about almost 2k for that alone b4 anything else.

It sounded like they don’t really know what they are doing .
Or they trying to boost part sales perhaps to hit target ?
I’ve read some on forum saying their service as improved over the years , but I guess not from the sound of it

If improved meaning from 2/10 to 5/10. I guess thats improvement to them hahaha.
