2000 Peugeot 406 review from UK and Ireland
"A great looking diesel car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front brake discs needed replacing due to excess judder when braking.
A noise, when going over rough ground, from the front near side. Mechanic could not find where the problem was.
The rubber seal round the boot lid seems to have started to perish. (easily replaced)
The body work seems to collect dents very easily especially the doors.
General comments?
The car is economical and reliable and looks great.
I get easily 47mpg.
The best I have had has been 55mpg and the absolute worst has been 43mpg.
Although I had reservations about the lack of power (90bhp) at first I have found it to be more than enough for my needs. I mainly do motorway miles and it keeps up with traffic easily.
I would definitely get another.
Parts are cheap from GFS car parts and servicing is easy.
The handling is very good and the ride is superb, especially over speed bumps.
