The PEUGEOT 406 (1996-04) 5DR ESTATE 2.2 HDI 136 EXECUTIVE AC SN is a five-door diesel estate from Peugeot’s range. In the UK used market, it offers a lower-cost alternative to an SUV, with a load area for family trips, hobbies or work. Its Executive specification suggests a comfort-focused choice. mycarcheck.com recorded 11 look-ups covering nine different VINs, so these figures offer a small snapshot, not a definitive market average. The cars checked averaged £400 in private-sale value and 157,000 miles, with annual use of 9,000 miles and around three to four previous keepers. That points to high-mileage, established examples. The 2.2 HDi diesel estate suits families, commuters and people carrying bulky kit, but is less ideal as a small first car. Against period estate rivals, the 406 is noted for comfortable long-distance travel, a composed ride, roomy cabin and generous boot. Check condition and service history carefully on examples.
