No two central locking motors are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
Yes, the Peugeot 308 uses central locking motors (also called door lock actuators) in its doors to operate the central locking system. Each door typically has its own actuator, so if one door is not locking or unlocking with the others, it is usually that individual motor that has failed rather than the whole system. When requesting a part, let the breaker know which door you need — driver's (OS front), passenger's (NS front), or one of the rears.
The 308 ran as the Mk1 from 2007 to 2013 and the Mk2 from 2013 onwards, and these are substantially different cars built on different platforms. Parts from a Mk1 are very unlikely to be compatible with a Mk2, so you should make sure the breaker is supplying a motor from the correct generation for your car. Always confirm against your registration number to be safe.
No — the engine has no bearing on which central locking motor your 308 needs. What matters is the generation (Mk1 2007–2013 or Mk2 2013 onwards), the specific door position (OS front, NS front, OS rear, NS rear), and whether your car is a hatchback or estate, as body style can affect rear door fitment. Quote your registration to the breaker so they can pull the exact match.
Trim level does not affect the central locking motor itself — the actuator mechanism is the same across Access, Active, Allure, and GT Line variants within the same generation. You may find that higher trims have additional features like folding mirrors linked to the locking cycle, but the door actuator is interchangeable regardless of trim. Just make sure the generation and door position match.
This is a tricky area because 2012 sits in the Mk1 generation (2007–2013) while 2013–2014 could be either late Mk1 or early Mk2 depending on build date. Parts from within the Mk1 generation are more likely to be compatible with your 2012 car, but crossing into Mk2 territory is genuinely uncertain for this specific component. Confirm with the breaker using your registration and theirs to check the part numbers match before buying.
Give the breaker your full registration number and tell them which door is faulty — driver's side front (OS front), passenger's side front (NS front), or one of the rear doors. It is also worth mentioning whether your car is a hatchback or estate, as the rear door arrangement differs between the two body styles. A good breaker will cross-reference the part number from the donor vehicle against your registration to confirm compatibility before dispatch.
