1996 Peugeot 605 SVDT 2.1 turbo diesel

Summary:

Comfort, economy and reliability in dated styling

Faults:

Wheel bearing at 85,000.

Water pump at 135,000.

Left front track rod end at 85,000 and 135,000.

General Comments:

Big, comfortable, economical car. Returns a consistent 44mpg since engine opened out at 20,000 miles. Lots of horror stories from other owners but proper servicing appears to ensure reliability.
