A used engine that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:

The Mazda Bongo sold in the UK as a used import spans several engine variants, so the engine code printed on your V5 or obtained via a VIN check is the single most important detail — it matters far more than the year alone. Engines sharing the same code are the strongest candidates for a straight swap, but ancillary brackets, mounts, and wiring loom connections can change across the production run, so always confirm the exact donor year against your registration with the breaker before buying.
No — petrol and diesel engines are entirely different units with different blocks, ancillaries, and management systems, so fuel type must match exactly. Always confirm the engine code with the breaker to make sure you are comparing like for like.
The gearbox type can affect which engine you need because the automatic and manual variants of the Bongo can use different engine and torque-converter configurations, and some ancillary items such as the flexplate differ between the two. Make sure you tell the breaker which gearbox type your van has so they can supply an engine matched to your drivetrain.
Trim level alone does not determine engine fitment; what matters is the actual engine code fitted to your specific vehicle, which can vary independently of trim name. Two vans wearing different badges could share the same engine code and swap freely, while two vans of the same trim could have different codes, so always lead with the engine code rather than the trim name when speaking to a breaker.
The 2WD and 4WD Bongo variants can differ in engine ancillaries, sump configuration, and front-end drive takeoffs, so a 4WD engine is not guaranteed to drop straight into a 2WD shell without modifications. Confirm your drivetrain type and engine code with the breaker so they can check whether the donor engine's ancillaries match your application before committing to a purchase.
The Mazda Bongo ran through the 1990s and into the early 2000s, and while many engines share the same basic code across that span, Mazda made running production changes to mounts, ancillary brackets, and engine management during this period. The engine code is your safest guide to compatibility, but whether a specific unit crosses any mid-run changes cleanly is something to confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume.
