The PEUGEOT 508 (2011-15) 5DR SPORTSWAGON 1.6 HDI DPF 115 EU5 SR is a five-door diesel estate, offering more luggage space than a conventional family hatchback while remaining easier to live with than a large SUV. In the UK used-car market, it sits among practical, comfortable family and long-distance cars. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 24 checks across 20 different VINs, giving a snapshot rather than a huge sample. Those records show an average private-sale valuation of £3,300, average mileage of 139,000 and about 2.75 previous keepers. That mileage suggests many examples have worked hard, so check service history and condition carefully. Families, commuters and motorway drivers will value its space for shopping, holidays and bulky kit. The 1.6-litre diesel is practical, and the 508 is comfortable on longer journeys. Against Mondeo and Passat estates, it is an alternative; its car-like shape appeals if you do not need an SUV. Check upkeep.
