Peugeot 5008 for Sale - Import from Japan

The Peugeot 5008 is a seven-seat family car from the French maker, and it has changed shape completely over its life. Used cars in Japan come from three different generations, and the chassis codes in our stock separate them clearly.

• First generation (T87, from 2009): a compact seven-seat MPV, a tall people carrier built for family space. Our cheapest examples are 2016 cars with the chassis code T875F02.
• Second generation (P87, launched 2017): a complete redesign as a large SUV with seven seats and the i-Cockpit dashboard. P87AH01 and P875G06 appear on the 2022 and 2023 cars in stock.
• Third generation (newest, listed in Japan under codes such as P74HN09): the latest model with a hybrid option. The 2026 cars carry the code P74HN09.

The big change is at 2017, when the 5008 stopped being a van-shaped MPV and became an SUV. If you are shopping, treat the first and second generation as almost different cars. The 2026 hybrid in our stock is the third generation and is nearly new. For a smaller sibling with a similar look see the Peugeot 3008.

Japanese grade names are used on listings. On the first generation, Cielo is the top trim in our sample. On the second generation the grades include GT, GT Line and special packs such as Black Pack and a red Nappa leather version, which are the names in our stock.

• BlueHDi diesel: the usual choice on the second generation. It suits long journeys and families who cover distance, and it is paired with an automatic gearbox.
• GT Hybrid: the newest 2026 cars. They are the way to go if you want the latest styling and technology, at a much higher price.
• GT grade: the top trim, with more equipment, larger wheels and nicer interior materials than the lower grades.
• First generation Cielo: the budget route into a seven-seater, with older design but practical space.

Families who want maximum value should look at a 2022 GT BlueHDi, while those who simply need seven seats on a budget should look at the 2016 Cielo. Our guide to the top 10 European cars to import from Japan puts the 5008 in context.

Japanese examples are often serviced at the dealer and low in mileage, which is a major reason to buy here. Still, work through this list.

• Service records, particularly oil changes and any belt or timing work on the engine.
• Diesel cars: ask about the emissions equipment and the AdBlue system, and check there are no warning lights.
• Gearbox behaviour on the automatic: smooth and without hesitation under load.
• Seat folding and the third row: confirm it works, and check the condition of the trim.
• Infotainment screen and electronics, which are common sources of small faults on newer cars.
• On the first generation, check the roof, door seals and interior wear after years of family use.

The auction sheet tells you the inspector's grade and any marks on the body. Read our guide to reading Japanese car auction sheets before you bid, and ask us for photos of any car in stock that interests you.

Here are real price bands from our stock in November 2026, all FOB in Japanese yen. FOB is the price at the Japanese port, before shipping and import costs.

• 2016 first generation 5008 Cielo (T875F02): about ¥320,000 FOB.
• 2022 GT BlueHDi (P87AH01): about ¥2,610,000 to ¥2,705,000 FOB.

The price gap between the old MPV and the newer SUVs is huge. That is because the 2016 car is a much older design, while a 2022 to 2026 car has nearly new technology. Check the live Peugeot 5008 stock for current cars, and read how much it costs to import a car from Japan for the landed cost.

The 5008 is a recent model, so its import eligibility depends on where you live and on the car year.

• United States: the 25-year rule only covers cars built before late 2001 in late 2026. No 5008 qualifies, and Peugeot was not sold new in the US, so this is not a practical route for American buyers.
• Canada: the 15-year rule covers cars built before late 2011. A first generation 5008 from 2009 to 2011 may qualify, but the 2016 and newer cars do not yet.
• UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand: right-hand drive markets. Many French cars sold in Japan are left-hand drive, so check the drive position on each 5008 before you buy. Compliance, testing and registration rules apply.
• Africa, Caribbean and Asia: many markets limit import age, which can favour newer cars, so check local rules.

Always confirm current regulations with your customs authority. If you are planning for the UK, our guide to importing a car from Japan to the UK explains the steps.

A seven-seat SUV is large, so it takes a bigger RoRo slot than a hatchback, and the freight reflects that. For a 2026 hybrid or a recent GT with a leather interior, many buyers prefer a container to keep the paintwork protected from weather and handling.

With a recent diesel or hybrid, the first thing we do is ask for inspection photos that show the third row, the infotainment and the underbody. Then we confirm the total with shipping. You pay within 3 days of a win, and a deposit may be requested before bidding, which stays in your wallet balance if you do not win. When payment clears we prepare the export certificate, invoice and bill of lading.

If you would rather bid on a specific car, we also have access to the major Japanese auctions on Monday to Saturday. Read our guide to Japanese car auctions for how that works.
