Used Peugeot 306 Door

The Peugeot 306 ran from 1993 to 2002 as a single model line, but it received a significant facelift in 1997 that updated the front end and some body panels. For doors specifically, the pre-facelift (1993–1997) and post-facelift (1997–2002) cars share the same basic door shell and aperture, but you should confirm with the breaker against your registration whether any detail differences affect your exact car.

No — the front doors on a 3-door 306 are longer than those on a 5-door to account for the absence of rear doors, so they are not interchangeable. Always tell the breaker whether your car is a 3-door or 5-door when you request a quote, as this is one of the most important fitment details for a 306 door.

The 1997 facelift is the key boundary here — while the 306's door aperture and hinge points are broadly similar across the full production run, whether a door from either side of that 1997 boundary will fit your specific car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. Name the facelift date and your car's exact year when requesting a quote so the breaker can verify compatibility.

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). It absolutely matters — a 306 door is side-specific and a nearside door will not swap onto an offside aperture, so always specify NS or OS clearly when getting a quote from a breaker.

Trim level — whether LX, XR, SR, XT, XSi or any other — does not affect door fitment on the 306, as the door shell and frame are the same across the range for a given body style and side. The differences you may encounter are cosmetic, such as electric versus manual window regulators or different interior trim colour, so factor that in when buying from a breaker, but the door itself will fit the aperture.

Colour is purely a cosmetic consideration and has no bearing on whether a door will physically fit your 306 — the door shell and frame are identical regardless of paint colour. A used door in a different colour can be resprayed to match your car, so focus on getting the correct side, body style (3-door or 5-door), and confirming the year range with the breaker rather than worrying about the original colour.
