Peugeot 508 NOx Catalyst Aging

I'm having trouble with my 2019 Peugeot 508 hybrid (82,445 km). The check engine light keeps popping up, throwing a code related to NOx storage catalyst aging. I've also noticed a stronger exhaust smell. Could it be the nitrogen oxides? I suspect it's the catalytic converter, but I am not sure how to verify the exhaust system.

I had a similar issue with my 508. The error memory also had this NOx storage catalyst aging message. Did you check for any visible leaks in the exhaust system? That was the culprit in my case.

Thanks for the quick reply! I haven't thoroughly checked for leaks yet. Where exactly should I be looking? Are there any specific spots on the exhaust system that are more prone to leaking?

In my case, the leak was near one of the joints in the exhaust pipe, close to the catalytic converter. Given your symptoms, especially the exhaust smell, I strongly recommend having a workshop take a look. They can perform a proper smoke test to pinpoint the source.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a local mechanic, and you were right – it was a small leak in the exhaust system. They repaired it for 265€, and the error code is now gone. Really appreciate the help!
