Known faults for Peugeot Peugeot 406
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Poor
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: PEUGEOT 406
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- HDi Dual Mass Flywheel and Clutch Wear(Serious)
The 2.0 HDi 110 and 2.2 HDi models utilize a dual mass flywheel (DMF) to dampen diesel crankshaft torsional vibrations. Over higher mileages, the internal springs and friction damper mechanisms within the flywheel fatigue and break down. This results in heavy driveline shudder, metallic chattering at idle, clutch slip in higher gears under torque, and in severe cases, catastrophic flywheel separation that punches through the gearbox bellhousing.
- Rear Multi-Link Suspension Passive Steer Bush Wear(Moderate)
The 406 features an advanced multi-link rear suspension design with trailing arms, transverse links, and passive rear-steering tie rods. After years on potholed UK roads, the rubber bonded bushes on the rear transverse track control arms and passive steer links perish and develop significant play. This causes vague rear-end handling, wandering or twitchiness on motorways, severe scrubbing of the rear tyres, and recurring MOT failures.
