The PEUGEOT 407 (2004-11) 5DR SW ESTATE 2.0 HDI 136 GT is a five-door, mid-sized family estate: a practical alternative to a saloon, with useful extra room for luggage rather than an SUV’s raised stance. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable, long-distance family cars, competing with estates such as the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. The 2.0-litre HDi diesel provides useful pulling power for everyday journeys and motorway trips, while the estate body suits family holidays, commuting and carrying bulky shopping or equipment. The GT trim gives this 407 a more upmarket feel. It is best for buyers wanting comfort and space on a modest budget, rather than a small city car. mycarcheck.com has recorded 17 look-ups covering 10 distinct VINs, so these figures offer a small-sample guide: average recorded mileage is 157,000, annual use 6,000 miles, and 4.4 previous keepers.
