Buckle Construction and Function
The Peugeot 207 Rear Left Seat Belt Buckle is responsible for securely locking the seat belt buckle in the fastened position. Its construction is adapted for use in the rear of the body, where it is important to:
- stably hold the buckle in one position, without excessive play,
- correctly guide the belt relative to the seat and backrest,
- provide easy access for the passenger when fastening and unfastening the belt,
- maintain consistency with the factory safety system used in the Peugeot 207 model.
As an original part from the Seat Belts and Parts group, the buckle works with standard seat belts, maintaining the parameters specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Choosing Used OEM
The offered seat belt buckle is used, allowing for a reasonable purchase cost while retaining the original manufacturer's construction. Unlike cheap aftermarket alternatives, an OEM part ensures:
- factory fit to the mounting points in the body,
- compatibility with the original seat and belt geometry,
- consistent interior appearance with other equipment elements.

Safety and Practical Application
A correctly selected and installed seat belt buckle on the rear left side is crucial for passenger protection. Stable belt fastening limits body movement during sudden braking or collision, thereby reducing the risk of injury. Replacing a worn or damaged buckle with a functional OEM part is an important step in:
- post-accident repairs involving the rear bench seat,
- safety system inspections after pretensioner activation,
- diagnosing seat belt fastening issues (difficulty inserting or releasing the buckle).
