Used Peugeot 208 Window Winder Motor

The Peugeot 208 runs across two generations: the first generation (Mk1) covered 2012 to 2019, and the second generation (Mk2) launched in 2019 onwards. Window winder motors are generation-specific, so a Mk1 motor will not be a straight swap into a Mk2 and vice versa. Within the same generation, always confirm the door count and side (NS or OS) with the breaker before buying.

Both a 2015 and a 2018 Peugeot 208 fall within the Mk1 generation (2012–2019), so you are within the same generation boundary, which is a good start. However, you must also match the door count — front doors on a 3-door and a 5-door 208 are different shapes and carry different motors — and confirm whether it is the NS (passenger side) or OS (driver side) door. Get both your registration and the donor car's details to the breaker so they can confirm the exact part.

The Mk1 208 received a facelift around 2015, but whether the window winder motor changed across that point is not something we can state as fact — door shell changes can affect regulator and motor fitment in ways that aren't always obvious. Name the boundary (pre-2015 vs post-2015 Mk1) clearly when you contact the breaker, and ask them to check both registrations against the part before it is dispatched.

Trim level does not affect window winder motor fitment on the Peugeot 208 — an Active, Allure, or GT Line motor is interchangeable as long as the generation, door count, and side (NS or OS) all match. The main cosmetic difference you might notice is door card colour or finish, but that has no bearing on whether the motor fits the mechanism. Confirm generation and door details with the breaker and you can safely ignore the trim name on the donor car.

In UK convention, the driver's side is the OS (offside, right-hand side), and the passenger side is the NS (nearside, left-hand side). Always quote OS or NS when speaking to a breaker, as this is the standard terminology used at dismantlers and avoids any confusion. Make sure you also tell them whether your car is a 3-door or 5-door, as the front door sizes differ between body styles and the motors are not interchangeable between them.

No — 2019 sits at the very end of the Mk1 generation, while the Mk2 208 launched in 2019 as an entirely new platform, so these are different generations and the motors are unlikely to interchange. Parts from either side of a generation boundary should always be treated as incompatible unless a breaker with access to parts data confirms otherwise against both registrations. Do not assume fitment just because the model years are close together.
