Used Peugeot 308 Exhaust System

The 308 Mk1 ran from 2007 to 2013 and the Mk2 from 2013 onwards, and these are substantially different cars with different platforms, so exhaust systems from the Mk1 will not fit the Mk2. Always make sure any part you source matches your generation. Confirm the exact fit with your breaker against your registration before ordering.

The 308 Mk2 received a facelift in 2017, and while the basic platform carried over, engine and emissions spec changes around that period mean a system from the wrong side of that boundary may not mate up correctly or meet MOT emissions requirements. Name the boundary to your breaker and ask them to check the part against your specific registration and engine code rather than assuming it crosses cleanly.

No, trim level does not affect exhaust fitment on the 308 — Active, Allure, GT Line, and GT trims all use the same exhaust routing for a given engine. What matters is your engine code, fuel type (petrol or diesel), and emissions standard, so focus on those when describing your car to a breaker. You may find cosmetic differences such as the style of the tail pipe finisher vary between trims, so check the visible end section matches if presentation matters to you.

Not necessarily — the BlueHDi engines are Euro 6 units and carry a diesel particulate filter as a legally required emissions component, so swapping in a system from an older HDi engine that predates Euro 6 could cause an MOT failure even if it bolts up. Make sure the replacement system matches your exact engine code and emissions standard. Confirm DPF and catalytic converter compatibility directly with the breaker against your registration, as interchange specifics in this area vary and are strong confirm-with-breaker territory.

Yes, body style can affect the rear section of the exhaust system because the SW has a longer rear overhang and different underfloor routing to accommodate the estate body. The front sections and mid-pipes tied to the engine are more likely to be shared, but the rear box and tail section are likely body-style specific. Tell your breaker whether you have the hatchback or SW alongside your engine code and registration so they can pull the correct part.

A 2012 308 is a Mk1, while a 2014 car is a Mk2, so these are different generations and the systems are not interchangeable despite the close model years. This is one of the most common mix-ups buyers make around the 2013 changeover point. Confirm your generation with your breaker and supply your registration so they can match the part correctly.
