The PEUGEOT 406 (1996-04) 5DR ESTATE 3.0 V6 AUTO AC SN EU3 is a large, five-door estate car from Peugeot’s family-focused 406 range. In the UK used-car market it sits among roomy, comfortable alternatives to the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra estates, with a powerful V6 petrol engine and automatic gearbox giving it a more refined, relaxed character than everyday versions. Its generous luggage space and easy-going automatic make it suited to family trips, holidays and comfortable longer journeys, especially for buyers who value space and smooth power over low running costs. The 3.0-litre V6 is a standout feature, but fuel use and age-related upkeep may make this specialist classic estate less appealing as a budget commuter or first car.
