Peugeot 3008 - diesel or hybrid?

I am considering a used (2013 model) Peugeot 3008. I have found two locally: one a 2.0 diesel and the other a diesel hybrid. I quite like the idea of the hybrid, with four-wheel drive, low VED and better economy, but am concerned about the complexity. Can you help me choose? Are hybrids good long-term buys?

The 3008 hybrid is a bit weird because it's a diesel hybrid so the point of a petrol hybrid is lost: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/peugeot/peugeot-30.../ Original non-hybrid: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/peugeot/peugeot-30.../ Car by car entry: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/peugeot/3008-2009/

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.

Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.

Real MPG

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
