A used shock absorber that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
The Peugeot 206 ran from 1998 to 2009 in the UK as a single generation, though it received a facelift around 2002 that updated the styling without fundamentally changing the suspension architecture. For shock absorbers, the key variables are engine size and body style rather than the pre- or post-facelift date, but whether a specific damper from a pre-facelift car crosses that 2002 boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration.
The 2001 and 2004 cars sit either side of the 2002 facelift, so while the 206 remained one generation throughout, there is a model-year boundary between those two cars. Suspension components often carry over across a facelift but it cannot be assumed, so give the breaker both registrations and let them confirm the part numbers match before you buy.
Yes, engine size can matter because heavier or more powerful variants may use different damper rates to cope with the extra weight and performance. A 1.1 or 1.4 petrol unit may not be the same specification as one from a 2.0 HDi or GTi, so always tell the breaker your exact engine when requesting a quote.
Yes, always specify whether you need the nearside (NS, passenger side) or offside (OS, driver side) unit, as left and right shock absorbers are not interchangeable. Getting this wrong means a wasted journey or return postage, so double-check your requirement before contacting a breaker.
Trim level on its own does not affect shock absorber fitment for the 206; an LX, GLX, or Roland Garros on the same engine and body style will use the same standard dampers. The main things to confirm are engine size and model year, not the trim badge — though if your car has been fitted with non-standard suspension at some point, mention that to the breaker.
The 206 SW estate has a longer, heavier body than the hatchback and the rear suspension components are not the same, so you should not assume a rear damper from a hatchback will fit an SW. Always tell the breaker your body style as well as your registration so they can source the correct unit.
