You're about 100,000 short of "mega miles" for a petrol 406. 115k is probably less than average

My last one - 2.0 petrol turbo - hit just shy of 190k before I scrapped it (needed a new bonnet, cambelt cv boot. replacing was cheaper)
My current one - 3.0 V6 is about 127k at the moment. Quite happy at its low mileage

Seems to be a very strong engine the Petrol. Someone was on here a few days ao with over 200K on a 1.8 I think.

The engine even forgives you for horrible neglect in the servicing department

(nice to see you back dado)
