Years: 2019 to today. The facelift came in 2023. The e-2008 is the electric version.
Reliability: 3/5. Several recall campaigns, and front suspension faults show up at inspections.
DIY: 2/5. Most fixes are dealer campaigns, and the e-2008 battery software needs a workshop.
Biggest risks: the diesel camshaft chain recall and the e-2008 battery control software recall.
Prefer: a car with recall campaigns closed by VIN and a service record. Avoid: an open campaign or knocks from the front axle.

Ask a dealer to run the VIN for all open recall campaigns. Bad result: any open campaign.
Ask a dealer to confirm the camshaft chain campaign was done. Bad result: an open campaign or no record. No scanner needed.
Ask a dealer to confirm the battery control software was checked and updated. Bad result: no record of it. No scanner needed.
Check the fuel tank campaign by VIN. Bad result: an open campaign.
Check the 48 V starter generator campaign by VIN. Bad result: an open campaign.
Check the brake valve campaign by VIN, and look for fluid stains around the valve block. Bad result: an open campaign or wet fluid.
Check the urea injector campaign by VIN. A missing warning light does not prove the system is healthy. Bad result: an open campaign.
Drive over speed bumps at walking pace and listen for knocks. Read the last TÜV report for suspension remarks. Bad result: knocks from the front or a suspension remark. No scanner needed.
Sit in the driver seat with the steering wheel where you drive. Bad result: the small wheel hides part of the dials.
