Used central locking motors vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
Fitment is primarily determined by which generation your Fiesta belongs to: Mk6 (2002–2008), Mk7 (2008–2012, facelifted 2013–2017), and Mk8 (2017–2023). Motors within the same generation are most likely to interchange, but always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.
This question spans a generational boundary: the Mk7 ran from 2008 and received a significant facelift around 2013, so a 2012 car is pre-facelift Mk7 and a 2014 is post-facelift Mk7. Whether the central locking motor crosses that facelift boundary is not guaranteed, so check with the breaker using both registrations to confirm the part numbers match before purchasing.
Trim level does not affect central locking motor fitment on the Fiesta — the motor itself is the same unit across trims within a generation. You may find cosmetic differences in the door cards or surrounding hardware depending on trim, but the motor is interchangeable, so don't rule out a part simply because it came from a different trim level.
Mk6 and Mk7 are distinct generations with different door architecture, and crossing that 2008 boundary for a central locking motor is not straightforward. Provide both registrations to the breaker so they can verify the part numbers match before you commit to buying.
It can matter, as the door size and mechanism on a 3-door rear door differs from a 5-door's, and NS (nearside) and OS (offside) fitment also affects which motor you need. Always tell the breaker whether you need a front or rear motor, which side, and whether your car is a 3-door or 5-door so they can pull the correct unit.
Some Ford models of the same era shared platform components, but central locking motors are door-specific parts and cross-model compatibility is not reliable enough to assume. Confirm with the breaker whether any alternative-model motor they have matches your Fiesta's part number before purchasing.
