im thinking of buying another 406 but its got 160 thousand miles on the clock is this about the limite or are the engines bullet proof an just keep goin also is there anything i shud look for to tell if its bein looked after?

What year / engine is it? How's the service history looking?

I took the head off my engine at 168k and it still had the original hone marks showing on the cylinder !!

My C5 hdi is at 206k and still runs perfectly, if you maintain an HDI properly and know your way around the electrics, they should be good for 300k+

wow fair play!

erm there is nor service history with the car it looks all clean no leaks to see etc but then im new to these cars but really like them

the car is a 2 litre HDI 90hp model (now i know how to tell the difference lol) estate mr2 2 i belive with the honey comb front grill.

If there's no service history I'd change the timing belt & tensioners, also check condition of bottom pulley

Ran my last one to 185,000 - it's still going strong. Plan on running this one to 200k.
