The PEUGEOT 407 (2004-11) 4DR SALOON 2.0 HDI 136 X-LINE is a roomy, four-door family saloon from Peugeot’s mid-sized range, aimed at buyers wanting more space and comfort than a small hatchback. Its distinctive, sweeping styling gives it a more individual look than many sensible, understated family-car rivals in Britain. The 2.0 HDi diesel suits regular commuting and longer journeys, with pulling power and the potential for economical running. It is best suited to couples or families needing a comfortable, spacious car, especially those covering distance; its size and age may be less convenient for tight city parking or short trips. In mycarcheck checks, 55 look-ups covered 48 distinct cars, a sample. Recorded examples averaged 131,000 miles and 12,000 miles a year, with around four keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £700. Against Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra rivals, the 407 stands out for style and comfort, but condition matters greatly.
