Used Mazda CX-5 Door

The Mazda CX-5 first generation ran from 2012 to 2017, so a 2013 and a 2016 are both within the same generation and doors are generally considered compatible. However, there was a facelift in 2015 that brought minor exterior styling updates, and whether the door shell itself differs across that facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration. Always specify NS (nearside/passenger) or OS (offside/driver) when requesting a quote.

No — the Mazda CX-5 moved to its second generation in 2017, which is a full model change with a redesigned body shell, so first-generation doors (2012–2017) and second-generation doors (2017 onwards) are not interchangeable. Make sure you tell the breaker which generation your vehicle is and supply your registration so they can verify the exact match. Quoting NS or OS and your model year will help them locate the right part quickly.

Trim level — whether SE, SE-L, Sport, Sport Nav, or GT Sport — does not affect door fitment on the CX-5, as the door frame and shell are the same across the range for a given generation and side. What can differ between trims is features built into or onto the door, such as mirror specification or window regulator type, so you may end up with a door that fits perfectly but has a slightly different finish or features to your original. Confirm any specific feature differences with the breaker against your registration before buying.

Yes, this is essential — NS (nearside) is the passenger/left side and OS (offside) is the driver/right side, and these are completely different parts that will not swap. The CX-5 is a five-door SUV so there are four side doors in total, meaning front and rear NS and OS, and you must specify both the side and whether you need a front or rear door. Getting this wrong is the most common and costly mistake when ordering a used door.

Colour is not a fitment issue — any door in the correct generation, side, and position will fit regardless of what colour it is painted, since doors are routinely resprayed to match after fitting. You should factor in the cost of a respray unless you happen to find one in your exact colour code, but this is purely cosmetic and has no bearing on whether the door will fit. Let your breaker know your colour code as a preference if you want to minimise respray costs, but don't let it hold up finding the right part.

This is a tricky one because the CX-5 changed to its second generation in 2017, meaning a 2016 is first-gen and a 2017 is second-gen — and these generations have different body shells. You should not assume a 2016 door will fit a 2017 model, and you must confirm compatibility with the breaker using your exact registration before purchasing. Supply your VIN or registration to the breaker so they can check the precise build date and generation of your vehicle, as early and late production years around a changeover can sometimes vary.
