Second Hand Peugeot 407 Rear Tailgate

The Peugeot 407 ran from 2004 to 2011 as a single generation, with a facelift arriving around 2008 that brought revised exterior styling — and the tailgate pressing may differ across that boundary, so a pre-facelift (2004–2007) tailgate and a post-facelift (2008–2011) tailgate may not be a straight swap even though they share the same platform. Body style is the bigger certainty: the 407 was offered as a saloon and as an estate (SW), and their tailgates are completely different panels that will not interchange. Always confirm with the breaker whether the part they hold is pre- or post-facelift and matches your exact body style before buying.

The 2008 facelift is a known boundary for the 407 and breakers will often describe stock as pre- or post-facelift accordingly — you should ask them specifically which side of that line their part sits on. Whether the pressing changed enough to affect fitment across that boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as mid-generation panel changes are not always straightforward. If they can match your exact model year, that is the safest route.

Trim level does not affect tailgate fitment on the 407 — the shell pressing is the same whether your car is a base S, an SE, a GT or an Executive. What can differ is badging, the rear wiper arrangement, and any integrated spoiler or trim finisher, so a tailgate sourced from a different trim may need minor cosmetic parts swapped over. Ask the breaker what badges or trim pieces are included so you know what to expect.

No — the 407 SW estate and the 407 saloon have entirely different rear ends, and their tailgates are not interchangeable in any way. Body style is the first thing to get right when sourcing a used tailgate, so make sure the breaker's listing specifies SW estate or saloon to match your car exactly. Getting this wrong would mean a panel that simply cannot be fitted.

The 407 and C6 share PSA platform architecture, but they are different bodies with different tailgate pressings, so a C6 tailgate will not fit a 407. Whether any specific same-platform variant sold under a different name shares panels is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. Stick to parts confirmed as coming from a 407 of the correct body style and approximate year range.

Engine choice makes no difference whatsoever to tailgate fitment on the 407 — whether your car is a 1.6 petrol, a 2.0 HDi or any other option, the tailgate is determined entirely by body style (saloon or SW estate) and model year relative to the 2008 facelift. Tell the breaker your registration, body style and year and they can confirm the right part without needing to know anything about the engine.
