Both years fall within the Mk2 Focus (2004–2011, facelifted 2008), so a 2009 glove box comes from the post-facelift Mk2 and your 2007 is pre-facelift — the dashboard design changed at that facelift point, which is likely to affect the glove box aperture and fitment. Whether a post-facelift unit will physically swap into a pre-facelift dash is something to confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying. If both cars are on the same side of the 2008 facelift, fitment is much more straightforward. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can check.
The Mk3 Focus ran from 2011 to 2018 and received a facelift in 2014, so a 2014 unit is post-facelift and a 2012 unit is pre-facelift — the interior trim and dashboard can differ across that boundary. Whether the glove box itself is interchangeable across the 2014 facelift is something to confirm with the breaker against both registrations. If both cars are on the same side of the facelift the part is much more likely to be a direct swap. Never assume fitment without checking.
No — the glove box is a purely interior trim part and fitment is determined by generation, facelift phase, and trim level, not by engine size or whether the car is petrol, diesel, or hybrid. You can safely disregard the donor car's engine when searching. Focus on matching the generation and, where relevant, the trim level of your own car.
Trim level can affect interior parts on the Focus because higher trims like Titanium sometimes feature different dashboard finishes or additional storage features compared with Zetec. In most cases the core glove box assembly will be the same unit, but there may be cosmetic differences such as finish, colour, or soft-touch materials that don't match your existing interior exactly. Confirm with the breaker that the donor car's trim level matches yours if a seamless visual match matters to you.
The original Mk1 Focus ran from 1998 to 2004, and the Mk2 replaced it from 2004 onwards with a significantly different interior and dashboard, so these two generations are not interchangeable. Stick to a donor car from the same Mk1 generation (1998–2004) to have the best chance of a correct fit. Confirm the exact year and any facelift phase with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
The glove box itself is a front-cabin part and is not directly determined by whether your Focus is a 3-door or 5-door variant — the dashboard is essentially the same across door counts within a generation. Generation, facelift phase, and trim level are the key things to match. Confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure, as subtle differences can occasionally exist between variants.
