Used steering columns vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Mazda Premacy was sold in the UK in two generations: the first generation (CP) ran from 1999 to 2005, and the second generation (CR) ran from 2005 onwards. The steering column design changed between these generations, so a column from a first-generation car is very unlikely to interchange with a second-generation one — confirm the generation of the donor car against your registration with the breaker before buying.
Both a 2002 and a 2004 Premacy fall within the first-generation (CP) range, which ran from 1999 to 2005, so the chances of a match are much better than crossing into the second generation. That said, always confirm the exact part numbers and any mid-life revisions with the breaker quoting against your registration, as minor running changes can occur within a generation.
For the Premacy, the steering column is part of the steering structure rather than directly driven by engine output, so engine size does not typically determine which column fits — the generation of the car is the key factor. However, it is still worth telling your breaker your exact engine variant when requesting a quote, as it helps them identify the correct donor vehicle from their stock.
Trim level does not generally affect steering column fitment on the Mazda Premacy — the column is the same across trim grades within a generation. Bear in mind that some trim levels may have had steering wheel-mounted controls, so the stalks or wiring attached to the donor column may differ cosmetically from yours, even if the core column fits.
2005 is right on the boundary between the first-generation CP (1999–2005) and the second-generation CR (2005 onwards), which makes this a crossover year where the answer is not straightforward. Whether a 2005 donor is first or second generation depends on the exact build date and market timing, so you must confirm the generation of both your car and the donor vehicle with the breaker before committing to a purchase.
Yes, the Mazda Premacy is a front-wheel-drive MPV and is fitted with a conventional steering column connecting the steering wheel to the rack — it is a genuine part that breakers regularly remove and sell as a used unit. If you are getting quotes, make sure you specify your generation (first-gen CP 1999–2005 or second-gen CR 2005 onwards) so breakers can match the correct column to your car.
