The PEUGEOT 508 (2011-15) 5DR SPORTSWAGON 1.6 THP 156 EU5 ALLURE 6SPD is a five-door family estate, offering more luggage space than a hatchback while remaining easier to park than a large SUV. In the UK used market, it competes with practical mid-size estates such as the Ford Mondeo. Its 1.6-litre petrol engine and six-speed manual suit drivers wanting a responsive everyday car for commuting, school runs and family trips. The Allure trim gives it a more upmarket feel, while the Sportwagon’s long roof and roomy boot make it useful for holidays, shopping and carrying bulky items. mycarcheck.com records are limited: six look-ups covered three distinct VINs, so figures are indicative rather than a broad reliability verdict.
