The PEUGEOT 406 (1996-04) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 HDI 110 LX AC SN is a roomy, five-door diesel estate from Peugeot’s family-car range. In the UK market it is a practical older alternative to a modern SUV, with useful luggage space and a lower, car-like feel. Its sensible, understated design suits everyday duties. Mycarcheck.com records 95 look-ups covering 64 distinct VINs, a useful sample for this model. The checked cars averaged 166,000 miles, around 8,000 miles a year, and 3.6 previous keepers. Their average private-sale valuation was £300, reflecting the age and high mileages seen in the data; individual condition and history can make a big difference. The 2.0 HDi diesel and air conditioning suit commuting and family trips, while the estate body accommodates shopping, hobbies and holiday luggage. Against rivals such as the Ford Mondeo estate, the 406 is known for comfort and road manners, but age makes careful checks essential.
