Peugeot 508 THP running costs, road tax and car insurance in Singapore

A used Peugeot 508 THP 156 in Singapore: its road tax, COE category rule and car insurance examples dated 1 November 2026.

You will not find the Peugeot 508 THP in a showroom now. Owners still insure them, and some come up for sale used. This guide lists what the car costs you each year, item by item.

The insurance prices are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. They help you compare. They are not what you will pay.

The version priced

The new-car list has no entry for this model on sale now. So this page gives no list price and no power figure.

Our quote form has one version: the 508 THP 156, with a 1,598cc engine. Every insurance figure below is for it.

What the COE rule says

A COE is needed for every car on Singapore roads. On a used car, the years left on it shape the price you pay.

The price page states the rule for the THP 156. Its engine is 1,598cc. It needs a Category A COE if its power is 97kW (130bhp) or less. If the power is above that, it needs Category B.

In the October 2026 2nd round, Category A closed at S$132,004. Category B closed at S$131,901. The COE page shows newer rounds as they close.

Paying road tax

Road tax follows engine size. LTA's formula puts a 1,598cc engine at S$741.72 a year, before any age surcharge.

Older cars pay more. The surcharge works in steps:

  • Past 10 years: +10%
  • Past 11 years: +20%
  • Past 12 years: +30%
  • Past 13 years: +40%
  • Past 14 years: +50%

So a car's registration date tells you a lot about the road tax ahead. A car that is close to a step will cost more to tax in a year or two. Road tax is paid for as long as the car is on the road, so it adds up over the years you keep it. Other engine sizes are on the road tax page.

Car insurance, one standard driver

The Peugeot 508 THP price page prices the car on these terms:

  • Car: 508 THP 156, 3 years old, private use, comprehensive cover
  • Driver: aged 40, married, office job, 10 years of driving
  • NCD: 50%, no claims made
  • Repairs: at an authorised workshop, no options

Your details will differ, so read this as a fixed point to measure against. If you are older, younger, or have a different NCD, the next sections show which way the price moves.

On those terms, 11 insurers give an online price. The lowest is S$761.67 a year. The insurer with the dearest lowest plan asks at least S$2,062.16. That gap is S$1,300.49, or 171%. All figures include 9% GST.

Another eight insurers have no online price for the 508 THP. A further one prices only a single reference driver, so its figure is not your price.

Excess: the other half of the price

When you claim, you pay the excess first. This page shows excesses from S$0 to S$5,000.

The lowest premium comes with a S$1,200 excess. One of the next lowest has an excess of S$5,000. Several plans in the middle ask S$500 or S$600. Compare the two figures together. Some prices on the page are estimates, and are marked as such.

Things that push the premium up or down

The price page changes one detail at a time. Here is the lowest premium in each case:

  • No NCD: S$1,597.91, up S$836.24
  • 20% NCD: S$1,278.33, up S$516.66
  • A 27-year-old with 3 years' driving and 30% NCD: S$1,653.49, up S$891.82
  • A 65-year-old with 20 years' driving and 50% NCD: S$955.27, up S$193.60, with 10 insurers pricing
  • A brand-new car: S$810.28, up S$48.61
  • A car 8 years old: S$745.46, down S$16.21

Your own record is the big lever. The young driver's lowest price is 117% higher. With no NCD at all, the price roughly doubles too.

How old the car is moves things only a little. Remember that each figure is just the lowest plan. The others can move by different sums.

How other cars compare

The price page places the 508 THP beside six cars, at the same driver and car age:

The six average S$733.36 at their lowest. The 508 THP costs 4% more. Four of them are cheaper to insure. The two most expensive are just above it. For other Peugeots, see the Peugeot car insurance page.

What only you can work out

These costs come down to your own use of the car:

  • Parking: your season parking at home, and parking at work and in town.
  • Fuel: how far you drive and what pump prices do.
  • ERP: your routes and the times you travel.
  • Maintenance: regular servicing plus parts that wear out. With an older car, check the service history and what may need replacing soon.
  • Depreciation: the gap between what you pay and what the car is worth later, tied closely to its COE years left.

Summary of yearly costs we can show

For the Peugeot 508 THP 156:

  • Road tax: S$741.72 a year before any age surcharge (LTA's formula, checked 2026-10-19)
  • Insurance, standard driver: from S$761.67 (1 November 2026)
  • Insurance, driver aged 65: from S$955.27
  • Insurance, driver aged 27 with 30% NCD: from S$1,653.49
  • Insurance, a car 8 years old: from S$745.46

For context, COE closed at S$132,004 (Category A) and S$131,901 (Category B) in the October 2026 2nd round. There is no list price to show.
