Used Peugeot 2008 DPF

The Peugeot 2008 ran in its first generation from 2013 to 2019, with a facelift arriving in 2016, and the second generation began in 2019 — so there are meaningful boundaries within the nameplate. DPF fitment follows the engine code and emissions standard of the vehicle, and a unit from across either the facelift or generation boundary may not be compatible even if it looks similar. Confirm the engine code and registration against the donor vehicle's details with the breaker before purchasing.

These two years sit either side of the 2016 facelift of the first-generation 2008, and while both are within the same generation, engineering changes around a facelift can affect exhaust and emissions components. DPF fitment is driven by engine code and Euro emissions standard, so whether a pre-facelift unit crosses to a post-facelift car is something you must confirm with the breaker against both registrations.

Trim level — whether that's Access, Active, Allure, or GT Line — does not affect DPF fitment on the Peugeot 2008; what matters is the engine code and emissions standard, both of which are the same across trims sharing the same drivetrain. You may find minor differences in surrounding heat shields or bracketry between trim levels, but the DPF itself is not trim-specific. Always cross-reference the engine code with the breaker to make sure the donor part matches your car.

The 2008 shared its platform and several engine variants with the 208, so there is a reasonable chance of overlap, but DPF and catalytic converter interchange between related models is strongly confirm-with-breaker territory. Provide the breaker with your exact engine code and registration so they can verify whether the 208 donor unit matches your 2008's specification and emissions standard.

Yes, this matters significantly — a DPF designed for a Euro 5 engine will not necessarily suit a Euro 6 application, and fitting the wrong unit could cause running issues or an MOT failure. The switch to Euro 6 requirements affected new registrations from September 2015, so the emissions era of the donor vehicle is a key question to put to the breaker alongside the engine code. Never assume a visually identical DPF from the wrong emissions era is a safe swap.

The second-generation Peugeot 2008 launched in 2019 and is a substantially different car from the first generation (2013–2019), with different engines and a different exhaust architecture. A DPF from the first generation should be treated as incompatible with a second-generation car unless the breaker can confirm otherwise by matching engine codes and part numbers directly to your registration. Do not assume fitment based on the shared nameplate alone.
