At the start of the 2010s the 508 replaced both the 407 and the 607, and it has been Peugeot's midsize flagship ever since. The first generation came as a saloon, SW estate, and the raised RXH, including the HYbrid4 diesel hybrid; the second generation, launched in 2018, is a sleek fastback and SW with plug-in hybrid options and the 360 hp 508 PSE. Many 508s served as company cars, so a VIN check on a used 508 is especially useful for confirming the accident, ownership, mileage, and recall history.

Your 508's VIN can be located in several places:
Most 508 VINs start with VF3, Peugeot's manufacturer code. Decoding the VIN confirms the generation, body style, and powertrain — important on the 508, where a first-generation HYbrid4 diesel hybrid and a second-generation petrol plug-in hybrid need very different checks.

What's the difference between the 508 HYbrid4 and the newer 508 Hybrid?
The first-generation HYbrid4 is a diesel full hybrid with an electric motor driving the rear wheels. The second-generation 508 Hybrid is a petrol plug-in hybrid, and the range-topping 508 PSE adds all-wheel drive.
Why do so many used 508s have high mileage?
The 508 was popular as a company and fleet car, and those cars often cover long distances in their first years. That's not a problem in itself, but the mileage should be consistent with the service records and the VIN history.
