The PEUGEOT 508 (2011-15) 4DR SALOON 1.6 THP 156 EU5 ALLURE 6SPD is a mid-sized, four-door family saloon, designed to offer more comfort and polish than a basic runabout. In the UK market it sits among mainstream family cars such as the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat, with smart styling and a more upmarket feel. The 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine gives this Allure a lively character, while the six-speed manual suits drivers who enjoy being involved. As a saloon, it is well suited to commuting, longer journeys and family duties, especially for buyers wanting a comfortable cabin and boot rather than SUV styling. Its mix of refinement, equipment and distinctive French design helps it stand apart from more conventional rivals. mycarcheck.com has 12 look-ups covering seven VINs, so figures are indicative: average latest recorded mileage is 80,000, annual use averages 6,000 miles, three previous keepers and a £3,800 private-sale valuation.
