Cheap Mazda 6 Rear Tailgate

The Mazda 6 moved from the second generation (GH, 2008–2012) to the third generation (GJ, 2012 onwards), so a 2010 tailgate and a 2013 tailgate come from completely different platforms and will not interchange. You need to source a tailgate from the correct generation for your car. Always confirm the exact generation with the breaker against your registration before ordering.

The third-generation Mazda 6 GJ received a facelift around 2015, and while both sit on the same platform, pressing or styling changes between pre- and post-facelift cars can mean the tailgate panels differ. You should confirm with the breaker whether the specific part number from a donor car matches your exact model year, checking against your registration. Never assume a straight swap across that facelift boundary without that check.

Trim level does not affect tailgate fitment on the Mazda 6; the structure and mounting points are the same across SE, SE-L, Sport, and Sport Nav grades on the same generation. What can differ is the presence or absence of a rear wiper, heated glass, or a roof spoiler depending on specification, so visually inspect what is fitted to the donor car before buying. As long as the generation and body style match, trim level alone is not a barrier to fitment.

No — the hatchback (five-door) and the Tourer estate are entirely different body styles and their tailgates are completely different pressings with different dimensions, glass, and aperture shapes. You must match the body style exactly: source a hatchback tailgate for a hatchback, and an estate tailgate for a Tourer. Always confirm the body style of the donor vehicle with the breaker against your own registration.

Engine and gearbox have no bearing on tailgate fitment whatsoever — whether your car is a 2.0 petrol, 2.2 diesel, manual or automatic, the tailgate is determined entirely by generation and body style. You can safely ignore powertrain details when searching, but do make sure the generation and body style of the breaker's donor car match yours.

A 2008 Mazda 6 falls within the second generation, known as the GH, which ran from 2008 to 2012. Tell the breaker it is a GH-generation car and confirm the body style — hatchback or Tourer estate — as these have different tailgates even within the same generation. Providing your registration allows the breaker to cross-reference the exact specification and confirm the right part.
