What to check when buying a used Peugeot 408 drive shaft
A used drive shaft that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
- State whether it's left or right
- State whether it's manual or automatic
- State if it's 2WD or 4WD

Fitment questions
Will a drive shaft from a 2013 Peugeot 408 fit a 2011 Peugeot 408?
The Peugeot 408 was produced from 2010 onwards as a single generation for the UK-adjacent market, but production and specification details for this model can vary by market, so the key thing to check is whether both cars share the same engine code — find yours on your V5C or via a VIN check. If the engine codes match and the gearbox type is the same (manual or automatic), fitment is likely, but confirm this with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.
Does a drive shaft from a 408 with a diesel engine fit one with a petrol engine?
No — drive shafts are engineered around the engine and gearbox combination, so a diesel and a petrol 408 will almost certainly have different shaft specifications even if everything else looks similar. Always give the breaker your engine code (shown on your V5C or found via a VIN check) alongside your fuel type and gearbox type to make sure you're quoted the right part.
Does the trim level affect which drive shaft I need — for example, does an Active need a different shaft to an Allure?
Trim level — whether Active, Allure, or any other grade — does not affect drive shaft fitment; the shaft follows the engine code and gearbox type, not the badge on the boot. What the trim level can affect is cosmetic or interior specification, but mechanically the drivetrain parts are shared across trims on the same engine. Give the breaker your engine code and gearbox type rather than your trim name.
Do I need to specify NS or OS when buying a used Peugeot 408 drive shaft?
Yes, absolutely — the nearside (NS, left-hand side as you sit in the car) and offside (OS, right-hand side) drive shafts are different parts and are not interchangeable. Tell the breaker which side has failed alongside your engine code and gearbox type to make sure you get the correct shaft.
Can I use a drive shaft from a pre-facelift 408 on a facelift model?
Fitment across any mid-production update depends primarily on whether the engine code and gearbox type remained the same — if they did, the shaft may well interchange, but ancillary or mounting changes can sometimes occur during a production refresh. Name the exact year and registration of both the donor and recipient vehicle when speaking to the breaker, and ask them to confirm compatibility against your specific registration before purchasing.
My Peugeot 408 has an automatic gearbox — can I fit a drive shaft from a manual 408?
No — drive shafts are matched to the gearbox type, and a shaft from a manual-gearbox car will not be correct for an automatic, even if the engine code is the same. Always tell the breaker both your engine code and whether your car is manual or automatic so they can pull the right part from their stock.
