Used Peugeot 508 for sale in Europe

About the Peugeot 508

The Peugeot 508 is a large family car from the French maker. It replaced both the 407 and the 607. It is sold as a saloon or fastback and as an estate called SW. It suits drivers who cover long distances and want a roomy cabin, a large boot and a comfortable ride.

Engines depend on the generation. Early cars mainly use diesel engines, with a few petrol options. Later cars add smaller petrol engines, an eight-speed automatic and plug-in hybrid versions. A hybrid diesel estate called the RXH was also sold in the first generation. Gearboxes are manual or automatic, depending on engine and trim.

Our listings cover model years 2010 to 2026 and include diesel, petrol, hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars. Older first-generation cars and newer second-generation cars are very different in age, equipment and technology. Compare them as two separate groups, not as one model.

Generations

• Mk1 (2010-2018) — The first 508 was offered as a saloon and an SW estate and received a facelift in 2014.
• Mk2 (2018-present) — The second generation switched to a fastback body alongside the SW estate, added plug-in hybrid versions and was facelifted in 2023.

What to check when buying a used Peugeot 508

Ask for the full service history and check the car in person or through an independent inspection. Start the engine cold, test every function and read the dashboard for warning messages.

• Timing chain and oil use · Mk1 1.6 THP petrol

  Owners and workshops widely discuss timing chain wear and oil consumption on this engine family. Listen for rattles on a cold start, check the oil level and ask for proof of regular oil changes.

• Particulate filter and AdBlue · Diesel

  Mostly short trips can clog the diesel particulate filter. Check for warning lights, ask about filter work, and on newer BlueHDi cars confirm the AdBlue system shows no faults.

• Gearbox behaviour · Mk1 with automated manual gearbox

  Some first-generation cars have an automated manual gearbox, often called EGS. Test it in town traffic and on a slope. Jerky shifts, delays or gearbox warnings call for a closer look by a specialist.

• Eight-speed automatic · Mk2 with automatic gearbox

  Drive the car gently and then briskly. Shifts should be smooth with no flare or harsh engagement. Ask whether the gearbox has been serviced, since fluid change intervals vary between sources.

• Charging and hybrid system · Plug-in hybrid

  Check that the car charges from a normal socket and a public charger. Inspect the charging cable and port, and look for hybrid system warnings. Ask for the service record and any software updates.

• Electronics and parking brake

  Test the electric parking brake, screen, cameras, parking sensors and driver aids. Faults in electronic systems can be costly to trace, so make sure every feature works before you commit.
