Used Peugeot 206 Window Winder Motor

The Peugeot 206 ran as a single generation throughout its UK production life (1998–2009), so a motor from a 2001 car is generally from the same platform as a 2004 car. That said, you must also match the side (NS or OS) and whether the car is a 3-door or 5-door, as front door motors differ between body styles. Confirm the exact part number with your breaker against both registrations before buying.

Yes, this matters significantly — the front doors on a 3-door 206 are longer than those on a 5-door, so the window regulator and motor assembly are not the same part. Always tell your breaker whether you have a 3-door or 5-door, as well as which side you need (NS for passenger/left, OS for driver/right). Mixing these up is one of the most common reasons a used motor turns out to be the wrong fit.

NS stands for nearside, which is the passenger side (left-hand side) on a UK right-hand-drive car, and OS stands for offside, which is the driver's side (right-hand side). Breakers use these terms rather than 'left' or 'right' to avoid confusion, so make sure you specify the correct one when requesting a quote. Getting the side wrong means the motor and regulator will be a mirror image of what you need.

Trim level does not affect the fitment of the window winder motor on the 206 — what matters is the generation, body style (3-door or 5-door), and the side (NS or OS). An LX, GLX, or XS motor will interchange provided those three factors match. One thing worth noting is that whether the motor is for an electric or manual regulator setup can vary across the range, so confirm this detail with your breaker against your registration to be sure you receive the correct unit.

The Peugeot 206 received a facelift in 2002, bringing updated styling, but it remained the same underlying generation and door architecture throughout. In many cases parts from pre- and post-facelift cars are compatible, but whether a specific window motor crosses that 2002 boundary without issue is something you should confirm with your breaker against both registrations. Make sure to match body style (3-door or 5-door) and side (NS or OS) regardless.

The 206 van used hinged rear doors rather than a sliding side door, but the key fitment variables for any door motor remain the same: which door position it serves and which side (NS or OS). Because the van body differs from the hatchback, the door frames and glass runs are not necessarily shared, so a van motor is unlikely to be a straightforward swap onto a hatchback. Always check with your breaker, giving them your registration and the donor vehicle's registration, before purchasing.
