Cheap Peugeot 406 Rear View Mirror

The Peugeot 406 ran as a single generation from 1995 to 2004, with a facelift introduced in 1999 that brought interior changes, so a mirror from a pre-facelift car (1995–1999) may not match a post-facelift interior perfectly in terms of trim finish and button layout. For a straightforward swap within the same phase, fitment is generally consistent, but if you're crossing that 1999 facelift boundary you should confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure the part matches your interior version.

No, the engine makes no difference at all for a rear view mirror — it's a purely interior fitment that is the same regardless of whether you have a 1.8 petrol, 2.0 HDi, or any other engine variant. Focus instead on whether the car is pre- or post-facelift (the 1999 facelift is the key cut-off) and whether your mirror has extras such as auto-dimming or a built-in light, and tell the breaker what features your original has.

Trim level can matter here because higher-spec 406 trims such as the SRi and Executive could be fitted with auto-dimming mirrors or mirrors with additional functions, whereas base trims like the LX or S typically had a plain manual unit. If your original mirror has no extra features, a standard mirror from any trim should fit the windscreen mount, but you may end up with a plainer or fancier unit than you started with — confirm the exact specification with the breaker so you get a like-for-like replacement.

The rear view mirror mounts to the windscreen and the fundamental fitment is consistent across saloon, estate, and coupé body styles within the same generation phase — the windscreen attachment point does not change by body style. However, the coupé in particular had a distinct interior, so if you drive a 406 Coupé it's worth telling the breaker the body style to make sure any trim details around the mirror base are a match.

Both a 2000 and a 2002 406 are post-facelift cars, since the facelift arrived in 1999, so you're shopping within the same interior phase and fitment should be consistent. Just make sure the specification matches — particularly whether your mirror has auto-dimming or a courtesy light — and confirm with the breaker against your registration to be certain before buying.

Give the breaker your registration number, the model year, the body style (saloon, estate, or coupé), and the trim level — and be clear about whether your current mirror has any extra features such as auto-dimming, an integrated light, or any electronic functions. Letting them know whether your car is pre- or post-1999 facelift is also helpful, as interior fittings changed at that point and a good breaker will use all of this to find you the closest match.
