The PEUGEOT 406 (1996-04) 4DR SALOON 2.0 EXECUTIVE AUTO AC SN is a four-door, mid-size family saloon, rather than a hatchback or city car. In its day, the 406 sat among mainstream-to-upmarket UK family cars, offering a more formal, comfortable alternative to practical estate cars and smaller, less substantial runabouts. The Executive trim and automatic gearbox make this 406 appealing to drivers who value relaxed motoring, air conditioning and cabin comfort. It suits couples, families and commuters seeking space and comfort at a modest used price, but not buyers prioritising the latest safety kit or lowest possible running costs. Mycarcheck.com records are limited: three checks covered one VIN, so figures are a snapshot, not a market-wide guide. That example showed an average private-sale valuation of £300, 139,000 miles, 3,000 miles yearly and three previous keepers. Against Mondeo and Vectra rivals, the 406 is remembered for comfort and understated French character.
