Fitment on a used brake discs varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The Peugeot 406 ran from 1995 to 2004 with a facelift in 1999, and the brake disc sizing can vary across that boundary depending on engine size, so you should not assume pre-facelift and post-facelift discs are interchangeable without checking. Name the generation and engine of both the donor and your car when you contact the breaker, and ask them to confirm against your registration before buying.
Yes, larger-engined variants of the 406 — such as the 2.0, 2.2, and V6 3.0 — were often fitted with larger brake discs than the smaller-engined models to match their extra power and weight. Always tell the breaker your exact engine size so they can match the correct disc diameter and thickness, as fitting undersized discs from a smaller-engined car is unsafe.
Trim level alone does not determine brake disc fitment on the 406 — what matters is the engine size and whether the car is pre- or post-facelift. An LX and a GLX with the same engine should use the same discs, though it is always worth confirming against your registration with the breaker in case any mid-life running changes apply to your specific car.
A 1998 406 is pre-facelift and a 2001 model is post-facelift (the facelift arrived in 1999), so there is a generation boundary between them that may or may not affect disc fitment depending on the engine variant. Confirm with the breaker, quoting both registrations and engine sizes, before committing to a purchase.
Front brake discs are generally shared across the saloon and estate body styles on the same engine variant, but rear disc sizing can sometimes differ on estate models due to the increased load capacity. Check with the breaker quoting your body style and engine size to be sure you are getting the correct discs for your specific car.
Yes, the 406 uses disc brakes at both axles on most variants, and the front and rear discs are different parts with different diameters and thicknesses, so you must specify NS or OS for any directionally vented items and state whether you need front or rear when contacting a breaker. Mixing up front and rear discs is a serious safety risk, so always double-check the part against your registration before fitting.
