car for a decade.
Available with various petrol and diesel engines, the

All models have independent front and rear
suspension.

(VIN) Positions
If
in doubt about whether a part is the right one for your
car, the VIN can help. We may ask you for the VIN number
to identify the exact age or model of your car.
The following diagram shows you where to find the VIN
number for your Peugeot. It is in two places: attached
to the bodyshell on a plate (this may also show other
information such as the paint colour) and also stamped
into the bodyshell.
