With proper maintenance, the Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi (DV5RC) engine typically reaches **150,000-200,000 miles**. Regular oil changes, AdBlue system maintenance and DPF-friendly driving (regular motorway runs) are essential for longevity. Early 2019-2022 models should have the camshaft chain inspected - Stellantis has identified a potential weakness in the 7mm chain design.

The 1.5 BlueHDi (DV5RC) replaced the 1.6 BlueHDi (DV6C) in the second-generation 2008 from 2019. The 1.5L unit offers improved efficiency and lower emissions with a 1,499cc displacement versus the 1.6L's 1,560cc. Both use common-rail injection, but the 1.5 BlueHDi features the DV5 family's refined injection system. The 1.5 BlueHDi is generally more economical but has its own failure patterns - AdBlue injector crystallisation and early camshaft chain wear.

• 1.6 BlueHDi: 1,560cc, Euro 6, DV6C code
• 1.5 BlueHDi more efficient but has AdBlue and camshaft chain vulnerabilities
