Second Hand Mazda Bongo Door Card

You need to confirm the side — NS (nearside, passenger left) or OS (offside, driver right) — and whether the door is a front door or a rear sliding door, as these are completely different panels. The Bongo was sold in the UK primarily as a van/MPV with a sliding rear door, so make sure you specify front or rear and the correct side. Colour is not a fitment issue as cards can be retrimmed, but do mention it so you can gauge how much work the used card may need.

The Mazda Bongo (sold in Japan as the Ford Freda and imported to the UK predominantly as late 1990s to mid-2000s grey imports) is essentially one generation, but there were running production changes over the model's life that can affect trim panels. Because the UK market received these vehicles as personal imports across a range of years with varying Japanese market specifications, you should confirm the exact year and variant with the breaker against your registration or chassis number rather than assuming any Bongo door card will interchange freely. A breaker with the donor vehicle's details can cross-reference the panel shape before you buy.

No — the drivetrain layout does not affect door card fitment at all. Door cards are determined by the door position and side, not by what is happening mechanically underneath the vehicle. You can disregard 2WD or 4WD when searching for this part.

Yes, completely different — the front door cards and the rear sliding door card are entirely separate parts and are not interchangeable. When contacting a breaker, be clear whether you need a front NS, front OS, or rear sliding door card, as ordering the wrong one is a common and costly mistake. The Bongo's rear sliding door is also only on one side, so confirm the side carefully with the breaker.

No — engine type and size have no bearing on door card fitment whatsoever. Whether your Bongo is the petrol or diesel variant, the door cards are determined by the door position and side only. You can ignore engine specification entirely when sourcing this part.

Trim level does not affect the physical fitment of the door card frame, so a card from a different specification Bongo should mount correctly if the door position and side match. However, because the Bongo was imported in various Japanese domestic market trim levels with differing interior finishes, switch blanks, speaker grille placement, or fabric grades, the used card may look slightly different to your original. This is a cosmetic difference rather than a fitment problem, but it is worth asking the breaker to describe the card's condition and features before purchasing.
