The PEUGEOT 508 (2011-15) 5DR SPORTSWAGON 2.0 HDI DPF 163 EU5 ACTIVE 6SPD is a roomy, five-door diesel estate, aimed at buyers needing more space than a family hatchback without stepping up to an SUV. In Britain, it sits alongside the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat estates as a rival. mycarcheck.com has recorded 39 look-ups across 25 distinct VINs for this version, a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £3,100 and average recorded mileage of 129,000 miles; annual use averages 11,000 miles, and cars have nearly three previous keepers on average overall. Families, commuters and holidaymakers can use its generous boot for daily duties and longer trips; the 2.0-litre diesel is well suited to motorway miles. Its six-speed manual and comfortable, understated character make the SportSWagon a less obvious alternative to Mondeo and Passat estates. Check history and condition carefully before buying.
