About the Peugeot 508

Enter the 17-character VIN of a Peugeot 508 and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, free and without registration. Our data covers model years from 2010 to the present, since the car is still built, across 11 versions, from the Peugeot 508 I (Phase I, 2010) to the Peugeot 508 II (Phase II, 2023), including SW, RXH and the Peugeot 508L II. Body styles in our data are sedan, estate, SUV and wagon, with power from 112 to 225 hp.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot speak to any of them; that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a car you are looking at, compare the model year the decoder gives with the year in the listing, and check that the body style and power match the version being advertised.

How can I tell which Peugeot 508 version a car is from its VIN?

The 10th character gives the model year, which you can set against the years in our version list, such as 2010, 2014, 2018, 2019 or 2023. The decoder does not name the version itself, so confirm the body style and phase on the car's papers.

What should I compare between the VIN plate and the documents?

Read all 17 characters on the plate and check them one by one against the registration papers and the listing. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so if you see one, you have probably misread a character or something is wrong with the number.

What will the VIN decoder not tell me about a Peugeot 508?

It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also reads only the 17 characters, so it will not tell you the exact power of a given car within the 112 to 225 hp range in our data.
