The Fiat Multipla ran in one generation from 1999 to 2010, with a significant facelift in 2004 that changed the front and rear styling noticeably. Tailgates from the pre-facelift (1999–2004) and post-facelift (2004–2010) cars are different pressings and are not directly interchangeable. Always confirm the exact year of your donor car with the breaker against your registration plate.
Your 2002 car is a pre-facelift Multipla and your 2006 car is a post-facelift model, and these sit either side of the 2004 facelift which revised the rear bodywork. Because the tailgate pressing changed at that facelift point, a straight swap across that boundary is unlikely to work correctly. Confirm with the breaker whether the part matches your specific registration before purchasing.
Trim level does not affect tailgate fitment on the Multipla — the shell and pressing are the same whether the car is an Active, Dynamic, or ELX. You may find cosmetic differences such as a different rear wash-wipe setup or badge positions depending on specification, but the panel itself will physically fit regardless of trim. Factor in any cosmetic differences when agreeing the price with the breaker.
The Multipla was only ever sold in the UK in its distinctive wide six-seat MPV hatchback body style, so there are no saloon or estate variants to worry about. Every Multipla tailgate you find at a breaker will be for the same body style, which simplifies the search considerably. You still need to confirm pre- or post-facelift as above.
No — the engine and transmission have no bearing whatsoever on tailgate fitment for the Multipla. Whether the donor car is a 1.6 petrol, 1.9 JTD diesel, or any other variant, the tailgate is determined solely by body generation and facelift date. Focus your search on confirming the correct year range with the breaker rather than engine details.
The tailgate panel will almost certainly need respraying to match your car unless you get very lucky finding the exact same original colour code. Ask the breaker for the paint code from the donor car's plate (usually found in the engine bay or door jamb) and compare it to your own. Even matching codes can show age-related colour drift, so budget for a professional blend when fitting.
