The PEUGEOT 406 (1996-04) 4DR SALOON 3.0 V6 GTX AC SN EU3 is a large, four-door family saloon from Peugeot’s former mainstream range. In today’s UK used-car market it is an older, low-cost alternative to familiar rivals such as the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat, rather than a modern everyday default. Its V6 engine gives it a more relaxed, brisk feel than ordinary family saloons, while the saloon body and air conditioning suit longer journeys, couples or families wanting comfortable transport. It is less suited to tight-budget new drivers, as age, fuel use and repair needs matter more than the low purchase price. Mycarcheck.com records just one lookup and one VIN for this model, so the figures are a snapshot. They show a £300 average private-sale valuation, 129,000 miles and two previous keepers; annual mileage is recorded as zero. Check condition and history, as upkeep matters on an ageing V6.
