Peugeot 308 Brake Replacement Parts

The 308 Mk1 ran from 2007 to 2013, with a facelift arriving in 2011, so there are two distinct phases within that generation. Brakes from a pre-facelift car may well cross over to a post-facelift car, but because mid-generation brake upgrades can occur we'd recommend confirming with the breaker against your exact registration rather than assuming all Mk1 brakes are identical.

The 308 Mk2 ran from 2013 onwards, so it sits in a completely different generation from the Mk1 (2007–2013), and the two generations use different platforms. Brakes are unlikely to be a straight swap across that boundary, so confirm with a breaker using both registrations before ordering.

Yes, larger and more powerful engines often carry bigger brake discs and calipers because the car needs more stopping power, so a 2.0-litre diesel or a high-output petrol is likely to have different brakes from a 1.2 or 1.4 petrol. Always tell the breaker your engine size and registration so they can match the correct spec.

Trim level on its own does not affect brake fitment on the 308; what drives the spec is the generation and engine size, not whether the car is an Active, Allure, or GT Line. That said, a GT Line or higher-output model may have been fitted with larger brakes to suit its engine, so it's the engine and generation you should quote to the breaker, not the trim name.

2012 falls within the Mk1 generation (2007–2013) and 2013 is the changeover year to the Mk2, so whether a set of brakes crosses that boundary depends on exactly when in 2013 the car was built. Confirm with the breaker using both full registrations, as this is precisely the kind of boundary where specs can differ.

Yes, calipers are side-specific — NS (nearside, left) and OS (offside, right) are not interchangeable — so always state which side you need when contacting a breaker. If you're unsure which is which, the nearside is the passenger side in a UK right-hand-drive car.
