The PEUGEOT 406 (1996-04) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 HDI 90 LX AC SN is a mid-sized diesel estate from Peugeot’s family-car range. It sits between compact hatchbacks and larger executive estates in the UK used-car market, offering a long load area and five-door practicality without the bulk of an SUV. Its 2.0 HDi diesel and estate layout suit commuting, family duties and carrying luggage, pets or DIY supplies. Air conditioning adds comfort. The 406 is valued for a comfortable ride and useful space, while its diesel economy can make trips less costly. It offers an alternative to pricier family estates. Mycarcheck.com checks show 22 look-ups across 16 distinct VINs: a snapshot, though not a large sample. These cars averaged 163,000 miles, around 4,000 miles a year, and 3.6 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £300, making this a budget-focused older estate where condition and service history deserve close attention.
