The PEUGEOT 508 (2011-15) 4DR SALOON 1.6 E-HDI DPF SS 115 EU5 SR EGC AUTO6 is a spacious, medium-sized family saloon: a traditional four-door alternative to a hatchback or SUV. It sits in the same practical UK market as the Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Passat and Vauxhall Insignia, offering a comfortable, grown-up feel without luxury-car pricing. The 1.6-litre diesel is aimed at covering regular distances economically, making this 508 a sensible choice for commuters, company-car users and families wanting room for passengers and luggage. Its automatic gearbox can make busy traffic less tiring, while the saloon’s calm ride and understated design suit longer journeys. Compared with similarly sized rivals, it stands out for a more distinctive French character and a comfortable, refined cabin. mycarcheck.com recorded 64 look-ups across 13 VINs; average mileage was 174,000, annual use 20,000 miles, keepers 4.2 and private-sale value £2,200.
