Used Peugeot 408 Wiper Motor

The Peugeot 408 ran from 2010 to 2014 in its first generation for the UK and European market. There are no widely documented mid-life facelift changes that are confirmed to affect the wiper motor specification, but if you are searching across the full 2010–2014 production run it is worth confirming with the breaker that the unit from the donor car matches your registration, as minor running changes can occur.

Both years fall within the same single-generation 408 (2010–2014), so the wiper motor is generally likely to be the same unit. However, because we cannot rule out quiet running changes between early and late production cars, always confirm with the breaker by giving them your full registration so they can cross-reference the part number from the donor vehicle.

Yes, front and rear wiper motors are completely different units with different fixings, connectors, and drive mechanisms, so you must specify which one you need when contacting a breaker. The Peugeot 408 is a saloon-derived body style, so confirm with your breaker whether a rear wiper motor is even applicable to your specific car before ordering.

Trim level does not affect wiper motor fitment; the motor is determined by the generation and front or rear position, not by whether the car is Active, Allure, or GT Line. You may find that higher trims have additional stalk or switch features, but the motor itself is the same unit, so do not reject a part simply because it came from a different trim car.

Peugeot models of the same era sometimes share platform components, and there is a possibility of overlap, but the 408 has its own body dimensions and screen geometry that may result in a different motor specification to the 308 or 3008. This is a cross-model swap that you should confirm directly with the breaker against your registration before purchasing, as fitment is not guaranteed.

Ask the breaker to confirm the part number from the donor car matches the one listed against your registration on their system, and check that they specify whether it is front or rear. Many UK breakers will offer a short returns window, but always clarify this before buying a used electrical component, as testing opportunities may be limited once the part is fitted.
