Fitment on a used rear view mirror varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The Mazda 323 went through several distinct generations sold in the UK, and the interior rear view mirror is generally generation-specific, so you need to match the generation rather than just the year. Well-established UK generations include the BF (1985–1989), BG (1989–1994), BA (1994–1998), and BJ (1998–2004). Cross-generation mirrors are very unlikely to be a straight swap, so always confirm the exact generation with the breaker against your registration.
The BG ran from 1989 to 1994 and the BA from 1994 to 1998, so these are separate generations with different interior designs and screen apertures — the mirror mounting point and glass profile are unlikely to be the same. Fitting a BG mirror to a BA shell is not a reliable interchange and we would not recommend assuming compatibility. Confirm with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
For the interior rear view mirror, trim level generally makes little practical difference to the basic mirror unit itself, since it mounts to the windscreen in the same way across the range. However, higher trims on the BJ (1998–2004) may have featured an auto-dimming or courtesy-light mirror rather than a plain manual one, so there can be cosmetic and functional differences to be aware of. Check with the breaker whether the mirror from the donor car matches any additional features yours had.
The interior rear view mirror mounts to the windscreen rather than the door or body, so door count does not affect fitment — the windscreen aperture and mounting boss are the same across 3-door and 5-door variants within the same generation. You can safely source a mirror from either body style provided the generation matches.
The BJ generation ran from 1998 to 2004 and received a facelift during that period, and while the windscreen mounting point is often consistent across a generation's life, we cannot confirm with certainty that the mirror assembly is identical across the facelift boundary. Name the facelift year and any part number differences to the breaker and ask them to cross-reference the mirror against your registration to be sure.
No — the rear view mirror is an interior fitment with no relation to the engine or drivetrain, so whether your 323 is a 1.3, 1.5, 1.6, or 1.8 makes no difference to mirror compatibility. Match by generation and trim features (such as auto-dimming if fitted) rather than engine size.
