The most common Peugeot 308 Hybrid 225 PHEV problems are **high-voltage battery degradation** reducing electric range (reported from 41 miles down to 17 miles in cold weather), **onboard charger faults** preventing plug-in charging, **electric motor/inverter cooling system leaks**, and **timing chain tensioner wear** on the EP6FDT petrol engine. The 1.6 hybrid is generally considered reliable - "the most reliable engine Peugeot have made in a while" - but the hybrid system has its own failure points.

• Battery degradation: reduced electric range and fuel economy
• Charger faults: preventing plug-in charging
• Timing chain wear: cold-start rattle on high-mileage examples
• Cooling system leaks: motor/inverter overheating
