Used Peugeot 3008 Starter Motor

Both the 2013 and 2015 Peugeot 3008 fall within the first generation (Mk1, 2009–2016), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility if the engine codes match — the engine code is the single most important detail to cross-reference, not the year alone. Confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and share it with the breaker, as ancillary or mounting changes can occur mid-run even within the same generation. Never assume fitment on year alone.

The Peugeot 3008 Mk2 launched in 2016 and is a substantially different vehicle from the Mk1 (2009–2016), with a new platform and revised engine family, so parts crossing that generation boundary are unlikely to be interchangeable. Even where engine displacement looks similar, the engine codes often differ between generations. Always confirm the engine code with the breaker before purchasing across that boundary.

Most Peugeot 3008 variants — petrol and diesel — do use a conventional starter motor, so it is a genuine part on this model. However, the 3008 Hybrid and Hybrid4 plug-in hybrid variants (available on the Mk2 from around 2019) use an electric motor to start the combustion engine and do not have a traditional starter motor in the conventional sense. If your 3008 is a Hybrid or Hybrid4, confirm with a breaker what starting system your specific vehicle uses before ordering.

Trim level — whether Active, Allure, GT Line, or GT — does not affect starter motor fitment on the Peugeot 3008; it is determined by the engine code and gearbox type, not the badge on the tailgate. A GT Line and an Active sharing the same engine code will use the same starter motor. Focus on matching the engine code and fuel type rather than the trim name.

Yes, gearbox type can matter — manual and automatic (including EAT6 and EAT8 automatic gearboxes found on the Mk2 3008) can require different starter motor specifications or mounting arrangements. Always tell the breaker whether your car has a manual or automatic gearbox alongside the engine code, as this helps them pull the correct unit from the donor vehicle.

Common diesel engine codes on the Mk1 3008 (2009–2016) include the 1.6 HDi and 2.0 HDi family, but the exact code can vary by power output and production date. The most reliable way to find your specific code is to check your V5 logbook or run a VIN check — give that code directly to the breaker, as it is far more useful than the displacement or year alone. Matching on engine code gives you the best chance of getting a compatible part.
