Used Peugeot 5008 AC Compressor

Both years fall within the first-generation 5008 (2009–2017), so fitment is possible if the engine codes match — the engine code is the most important detail, not the model year. Check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm your engine code and ask the breaker to match it exactly. Even within the same generation, ancillary mountings and brackets can change mid-production, so confirm those details with the breaker against your registration before buying.

The second-generation 5008 launched in 2017 and is a significantly different car on a new platform, so a compressor from the first-generation (2009–2017) is very unlikely to be compatible with a second-generation (2017-onwards) car. Engine codes changed substantially between generations, and this boundary is one where you should treat cross-generation fitment as a separate search rather than an assumption. Always quote your engine code to the breaker and confirm fitment against your registration.

Trim level does not affect AC compressor fitment on the Peugeot 5008 — what matters is your engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type, not whether your car is an Active, Allure, or GT Line. A compressor pulled from a higher or lower trim car with the same engine code is mechanically the same unit. Bear in mind you may receive a compressor with a different cosmetic finish or bracket colour, but that has no effect on how it functions.

Fuel type is a key fitment factor for AC compressors, and a diesel unit will not necessarily interchange with a petrol unit even if the cars are the same year and generation. The drive arrangement and ancillary setup differ between diesel and petrol engines, and the engine codes will be completely different. Always confirm your engine code with the breaker to make sure they are supplying a compressor from the correct engine family.

The first-generation 5008 received a facelift in 2013, so a 2016 car is firmly in the post-facelift period and you should ideally source a compressor from another post-facelift first-gen car. However, whether the facelift actually changed the AC compressor for your specific engine depends on the engine code, and the breaker is best placed to confirm this against your registration. Providing your engine code upfront will save time and reduce the risk of ordering the wrong part.

Mileage does not affect whether a compressor will physically fit; engine code compatibility is what determines that. A compressor from a newer first-generation 5008 (2009–2017) can fit an older car in the same generation provided the engine codes match and the breaker confirms no mounting changes apply to your specific registration. Used compressors from breakers are a cost-effective option, but always ask the breaker to check compatibility against your registration number rather than relying on year alone.
