The PEUGEOT 407 (2004-11) 4DR SALOON 3.0 SE LUXURY AUTO is a large, four-door family saloon, sitting near the more comfort-focused end of the mainstream used-car market. Its striking nose and elegant shape give it more presence than an ordinary runabout, while the SE Luxury trim and automatic gearbox make it appealing to drivers who value relaxed, well-equipped journeys. The 3.0-litre version is the range’s more powerful choice, rather than an economy-first option. It suits couples or families wanting a roomy car for commuting, longer trips and comfortable motorway travel, especially if they prefer an automatic. Compared with popular rivals such as the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat, the 407 stands out for its French styling and plush, distinctive character; buyers should weigh that appeal against the higher running costs that can come with a large, powerful petrol saloon. One mycarcheck lookup showed £400 average private valuation and two previous keepers.
