I have 99 80kw SV (most luxurious)break which has run 230.000 kms. I am still very enthousiastic about this car. In France, Sweden and Norway this type of car is often used as an taxi, because of its economy and space and driveabiltiy.

I would suggest the 110 HDI, I have the 90 HDI on 02 plate which is a bit underpowered. Other than that, no major problems and I like the car. Ian (UK)

I myself have a 406 diesel (albeit a saloon) with over 170,000 miles on it, and can'r believe how good it drives and feels. I bought it 4 years ago, and am still impressed by it. So much so that if something went drastically wrong and I had to change my car, I'd be on the lookout for another, Cheers Neil

Running a June 2001 406 Rapier Estate Hdi 90 hp with 57,000 miles. Serviced after warranty by CPP Coventry( local Citroen/Peugeot specialist). Local Peugeot Main Dealer toooooo expensive. Often the case, so find local equivalent of CPP this is VITAL. Replaced turn indicator switch at approx 40,000 and exhaust rear section and radio aerial since. Mostly local motoring in West Midlands on Tesco fuel with Millers Diesel Power Plus additive, to protect fuel pump. Local mpg 42 and Coventry/ Aberdeen return-- 48 mpg cruising where possible at 70/80mph with full load. Only regret, did not go for 110 hp engine- quieter and more economical on M/way, if not thrashed. As noted elsewhere, commonly used as TAXIS, be sure you don`t buy one of these unwittingly. Happy 406`ing. Wally.

have your ECU remapped, makes it a 110 with a smaller turbo, even pug dealers can do it for you these day's, or you can go @ places like
