Peugeot 508 Saloon, 508
A big, softly sprung French saloon that rides beautifully and lost its value faster than almost anything else here.
Overview
The 508 is the sedan Peugeot 508, built 2010–2018 and facelifted in 2014. 3 standard engines are documented here, each with its own issue list, inspection sequence and price band. Asking prices across the standard range run €1,250–€4,850, and 1 of the 3 carry a risk level of 4 or 5; the facelift cars sit at a premium over otherwise identical pre-facelift ones. The cheapest way in is the 1.6 THP EP6 from €1,750, while the 2.0 HDi DW10 is the lowest-risk engine at €2,200, so which engine you buy matters more here than which year. Prices are illustrative placeholders rather than a sourced market sample. See the methodology.

Rating map, price against risk
Good-buy price plotted against risk level for every standard engine, so the value corner is visible at a glance.
Every standard engine in the chassis, plotted at its good-buy price against its risk level. Cheap and low-risk is the top-left; expensive and fragile is the bottom-right. M cars are excluded, they would stretch the price axis and tell you nothing about the rest.
Prices across the range
Where the money sits across the whole chassis. Every figure here is an illustrative placeholder, not a sourced market sample.
Every standard engine on one euro axis: the bar spans the 10th to 90th percentile of asking prices, the tick is the median and the green marker is the good-buy figure. GTi cars are excluded; they sit an order of magnitude above the rest.

Chassis-wide issues, every engine inherits these
Faults recorded against the bodyshell and running gear rather than one engine, so every variant on this page inherits them.
Written once against the chassis and shown on every variant page below, so nothing here is repeated 3 times: GTi cars included, since the bodyshell and electronics are shared.
Buying summary
Our read on the chassis, built on the records above rather than added to them.
Best value: 2.0 HDi, the larger diesel and the one that suits the car. Be careful with the 1.6 HDi, whose turbo oil feed blocks if the servicing has been skipped, and that failure takes the turbo with it. On petrol, the 1.6 THP has a timing-chain and carbon record that means it needs a documented history. Electrical faults are common and usually cheap, so scan everything.
