PEUGEOT 508 Common

As of 2025 Q4, 19,879 PEUGEOT 508s remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 22,084 in 2022 Q2 — only 90% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 2,205 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 795 a year (4.0% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2042 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.

About the 508

The Peugeot 508 is a mid-size/large family car produced by the French automaker Peugeot since 2010, and followed by the 508 SW, an estate version, in 2011.

The 508 serves as the successor to both the 407 and 607 model lines, replacing both vehicles under a single nameplate for which no direct replacement was scheduled.
