Has there been some sort of unwritten rule that dictates that if a country borders the Mediterranean, then the small cars it produces will, by default, be better than its big cars? For years, that seemed a reasonable maxim to guide buyer behaviour, with Italian, French and Spanish companies in particular doing most of their best work with small cars. Peugeot is a case in point, with its best loved vehicles being the 205, the 106 and the 306. It seems that, of late, Peugeot is attempting to set this historical precedent aside. The 508 is a key component in this move. Here's what to look for when buying used.
History
Peugeot's 3008 and 5008 MPV models paved the way for British buyers to start taking the concept of a good, bigger Peugeot seriously and the 508 saloon, which was tasked with the job of replacing not just the reasonably successful 407 but also the chronically underperforming 607, also looked promising. Launched into a sector that seemed to be drying up, the 508 struggled at first, not through any inherent failing in the product, but just because this was a very conservative market where buyers tended to stick to what they knew.
An estate version appeared alongside the saloon with a ruggedised RXH hybrid estate and HYbrid4 saloon the following year. An RXH Limited Edition of just 30 units kicked the model off. The 2014 model year 508 received a raft of changes that gave it more visual impact and a better perception of quality inside.
