Faults:

Minor faults in the first year (some electrical problems (e.g. false airbag error signal, automatic AC system fault, false error messages, etc.) All of them was repaired under guarantee.

Major fault (which caused the car stopped) has occurred at first time only at 190.000km!!! Reason: generator jammed, V-belt broke.

Second major fault at 210.000km: high-pressure Bosch diesel pump had breakdown (cannot be repaired, need to be replaced by a less used one).

General Comments:

Excellent engine performance, extremely low fuel consumption (compared with e.g. 407HDI 136PS, VW Passat TDI, Mazda6).

Comfort on the front seats are great, less legroom at the back.

Actually I'm planning to buy a same, but with 2.2. HDI engine and less used.

Faults:

Air Con pipe rupture.

General Comments:

What a great shame Peugeot have stopped making this model. Owned the 406 saloon prior to buying the estate. Superb ride and handling, excellent fuel economy and good build quality. Eats front pads and discs. Best with Goodyear NCT 5's for all round performance, but expect only 20,000 miles if lucky. Now own a 307SW, and to be honest, I would rather have kept my 406.

Faults:

Only very small vibrations from the engine when the car is stopped. Needs a software update.

General Comments:

The best car I have ever driven. Everything works fine.

It's so comfortable. I do 350km and I feel I just started.

Very economical when you want.

The so-called automatic windscreen wipers were fantastic. I drove 4 hours non stop with strong rain, and they worked perfectly.

Faults:

Various squeaks & rattles from interior.

Apart from that reliability was faultless in the 35,000 & 2 years I ran it as a company car.

General Comments:

The engine was gutless (90 bhp).

It was a good motorway car, being very quiet & had a very good ride quality.

Although the interior was dark, with black used everywhere (it even had black 'wood' inserts) it had a quality feel, especially with the chrome-bezelled instruments that were lifted from the 406 coupe.

The handling was exemplary.

As hard as I tried, I couldn't get the fuel consumption to fall below 38mpg.

I especially liked the climate control with digital display; set & forget.

The seats were resonably comfortable, although they could have done with more support & a centre arm-rest would have been nice.

The so-called automatic windscreen wipers were a joke -you had to initiate them to start with & they never wiped at the correct speed to match the amount of rain hitting the windscreen.

The automatic headlamps were annoying in that they'd come on as you went under bridges -other drivers thought I was flashing them.

The sound system was very good.

Faults:

Right hand front wheel ABS wheel sensor.

General Comments:

Very quick and the hdi 110 hp engine, realy can pull you against the seat.

Faults:

Inner door seal pulled away from fixings at bottom (it is easily caught when getting out).

Instrument panel died completely-no speedometer, tachometer, fuel guage or temperature gauge.

Indicator switch shorted causing random indicating initially and ending up with permanently operating indicators even when switch was central (off).

Head gasket blew at 67000 (still waiting to be repaired).

General Comments:

The car is comfortable and is very roomy.

The fuel consumption is reasonable as it is a diesel (typically averaging about 47 mpg).

The servicing is expensive especially the major service requiring a cam belt change which costs £400 alone.

After only 67000 miles the head gasket blew which is going to cost a minimum of £920 to repair.
