Used Mazda 3 Boot Lid

These are from different generations — the second-generation Mazda 3 (BL) ran from 2009 to 2013, while the third-generation (BM) ran from 2013 to 2019, so the panels are completely different body pressings and will not interchange. Always source a boot lid from the correct generation to match your car. Confirm the exact generation with the breaker against your registration before ordering.

Both years fall within the third-generation Mazda 3 (BM, 2013–2019), which did receive a facelift around 2016–2017; whether the boot lid pressing changed across that facelift boundary is not something we can state with certainty, so confirm directly with the breaker against both registrations before proceeding. If both cars are confirmed pre-facelift or both post-facelift BM models, fitment is more likely, but the breaker is best placed to verify. Never assume fitment without that check.

For the Mazda 3, trim level does not affect boot lid fitment — SE, Sport, GT Sport and other trims within the same generation and body style share the same pressings. However, you may find cosmetic differences such as spoiler lips, badging holes, or different factory paint codes depending on the specification the donor car had. Confirm any spoiler or badge arrangement with the breaker so you know exactly what you are receiving.

No — the hatchback (fastback) and saloon are completely different body styles with entirely different rear-end pressings, so their boot lids are not interchangeable at all. Always confirm the body style of the donor car with the breaker matches your own before agreeing a price. Getting the body style right is the single most important fitment check for any boot lid.

No — the first-generation Mazda 3 (BK) ran from 2003 to 2009 and the second-generation (BL) from 2009 to 2013; these are entirely separate platforms with different body pressings throughout. A boot lid must come from the correct generation to have any chance of fitting. Source a part confirmed by the breaker to match your specific generation and body style.

For cars within the same generation and body style, year is usually less critical than generation itself — however, mid-generation pressing changes can occasionally occur and are difficult to confirm from a distance. Name the generation (BL, 2009–2013) and body style to the breaker, and ask them to check the donor part against your registration to rule out any subtle differences. This is the safest way to avoid an expensive mismatch.
