Fitment questions

Will a starter motor from an earlier Peugeot 407 fit my later one?

The Peugeot 407 ran as a single generation from 2004 to 2011, with a facelift in 2008, so the same basic platform underpins all cars in the range. Fitment of the starter motor is driven primarily by engine code rather than model year, so a unit from a pre-facelift car can often suit a post-facelift car if the engine codes match. That said, there can be ancillary or mounting changes introduced during a production run, so confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and run it past the breaker before buying.

Does the engine type affect which starter motor I need for a Peugeot 407?

Yes, this is the most important factor — the starter motor is matched to the engine, so a 2.0 HDi diesel unit will not be the same as one from a 2.0 petrol. Your engine code, printed on your V5 or available via a VIN check, is the single most useful piece of information you can give a breaker when sourcing a used starter motor for the 407.

Does the gearbox type — manual or automatic — make a difference to the starter motor on a Peugeot 407?

It can do, because the starter motor engages with the flywheel or driveplate, and the tooth count or mounting arrangement can differ between a manual flywheel and an automatic torque converter driveplate. Always tell the breaker whether your 407 has a manual or automatic gearbox alongside the engine code to make sure you get the right unit.

Does it matter whether my Peugeot 407 is an S, SE, or Executive trim when buying a starter motor?

No — trim level does not affect the starter motor at all, since trims like S, SE, and Executive differ in interior equipment, comfort features, and cosmetic details rather than anything mechanical. What matters is the engine code and gearbox type, which are the same across trims fitted with the same drivetrain. Focus on those details rather than the badge when speaking to a breaker.

Will a starter motor from a Peugeot 407 Saloon fit my 407 SW Estate or Coupe?

Body style has no bearing on starter motor fitment — the part lives within the engine bay and is entirely determined by the engine and gearbox specification, not the body variant. As long as the engine codes and gearbox types match, a unit from a Saloon, SW Estate, or Coupe should be interchangeable, but always confirm with the breaker against your registration to be certain.

Can I use a starter motor from a Citroen C5 or Peugeot 607 on my Peugeot 407?

It is possible, because the 407 shares PSA Group engines with models like the C5 and 607, meaning some starter motors are common across those platforms when the engine codes match. However, cross-model compatibility depends on the specific engine code, mounting configuration, and gearbox type, so do not assume a match based on the badge alone. Give the breaker the engine code from your V5 for both vehicles and let them confirm whether the units are interchangeable.
