Second Hand Peugeot Expert Rear Tailgate

The Expert has run across distinct generations, with the second generation (Mk2) covering roughly 2007 to 2016 and the third generation (Mk3) launching in 2016 onwards on a new platform shared with the Citroën Dispatch and Toyota ProAce. Tailgates are generation-specific, so a Mk2 part will not fit a Mk3 van. Always confirm the generation against your registration with the breaker before ordering.

2014 puts you in the Mk2 generation (2007–2016), while 2017 sits in the Mk3 generation (from 2016), and these vans are on entirely different platforms with different body pressings. A tailgate from a 2014 will not cross that 2016 generation boundary and fit a 2017. Confirm your exact generation with the breaker quoting against your registration to make sure you get the right part.

For the rear tailgate specifically, wheelbase and roof height matter most on the sides and roof panels; the tailgate aperture on the Expert is generally consistent within a generation regardless of whether your van is standard or long wheelbase. However, roof height can affect the upper edge of the tailgate on high-roof variants, so confirm your roof height specification with the breaker when requesting a quote.

Barn doors and a rear tailgate are completely different closing mechanisms with different aperture surrounds, so barn-door rear doors will not swap directly onto a tailgate-configured van and vice versa. You must source a tailgate from a van that left the factory with the same rear configuration as yours. Make sure you tell the breaker clearly which rear setup your van has when getting a quote.

Yes, this matters significantly — the Tepee (combi/passenger) and the panel van share the same platform within a generation but can have different rear body pressings, glazing cut-outs, and trim finishes around the tailgate aperture. Confirm with the breaker whether the tailgate they have came from a panel van or a Tepee, as these variants may not interchange directly. Always quote your full registration so the breaker can match the correct body style.

Trim level does not affect tailgate fitment on the Expert; the panel itself is the same pressing across trim grades within the same generation and body configuration. What may differ is the finish, badging, or any trim strips attached to the tailgate, so a tailgate sourced from a different trim level may need minor cosmetic adjustment. Focus on matching generation, body style, and rear configuration rather than trim name when sourcing from a breaker.
