Get a diagnostic check done. Pay attention to actual airflow in relation reference in parameter measurements.
Ie check the airflow meter!!

I had exactly the same problem with my '05 407 HDi SE Luxury pack. One place adjusted the before/after sensors on the Cat and said if that didn't work, the injectors would need to be overhauled (£1000-£1100)!
Took it to a diesel specialist recommended by a friend who changed the fuel filter as it was in a helluva state and told me not to buy supermarket fuel - cost ? - £87, inc. filter, diagnostics and test drive!!. 18months on, I have not had one misfire, no matter how hard I push it.

The 406 although does not have any sensors on the exhaust. It does not have a particle filter.
