Mazda Premacy Headrest Replacement Parts

The Mazda Premacy was sold in the UK across two main generations — the first generation (CP) ran from 1999 to 2004, and the second generation (CR) ran from 2005 onwards — and headrests are not directly interchangeable between these generations as the seat designs differ. Within the same generation, fitment is more likely but can also vary depending on trim level, as higher-spec trims sometimes featured different seat materials or integrated headrest styles. Always confirm the exact generation and trim of the donor vehicle with the breaker before buying.

A 2003 Premacy is a first-generation (CP) car, while a 2005 model sits in the second generation (CR), and the seat designs changed between these generations, making a direct swap very unlikely. You should source a headrest from a car of the same generation as yours — CP (1999–2004) or CR (2005 onwards) — to have the best chance of a match. Confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker, as seat and trim specifications can vary across the range.

It can do — the Premacy was offered in varying trim levels across its UK life, and higher-spec trims sometimes featured different seat upholstery or seat designs that used a slightly different headrest style or guide post arrangement. If your car has leather or part-leather seats, make sure the donor vehicle is similarly equipped, as the headrests from cloth-seat trims may not look or fit the same. Check with the breaker that the trim spec of the donor car matches yours before purchasing.

Yes, this matters significantly — front seat headrests and rear seat headrests are different parts and are not interchangeable, and on some Premacy variants the rear headrests also differ by seating position across the row. When asking a breaker for a quote, specify clearly whether you need a front driver's side (OS), front passenger's side (NS), or a particular rear position. Getting this detail right upfront will save time and avoid receiving the wrong part.

Yes — the engine fitted to a Premacy has no bearing on the headrests, as these are interior trim parts determined by generation, seat type, and trim level rather than drivetrain. Whether the donor car has a petrol or diesel engine makes no difference to headrest fitment, so don't let engine type put you off a good-condition part from a breaker. Focus instead on matching the generation and seat specification to your own car.

You can buy a single headrest — there is no mechanical reason to replace them as a set — but bear in mind that a used headrest from a breaker may show slightly different wear or fading compared to the remaining headrests in your car. If colour match and appearance matter to you, sourcing two or more from the same donor vehicle will give you the closest result. Ask the breaker about the condition and colour of the part before committing, and confirm it matches your seat trim.
