Nissan Micra Rear Tailgate Replacement Parts

The Micra runs across four well-established generations in the UK: K11 (1992–2002), K12 (2003–2010), K13 (2010–2016), and K14 (2017 onwards), and tailgates do not swap between these generations as the body shell and pressing are completely different each time. Always match the generation first before worrying about anything else. Confirm the exact generation with the breaker using your registration to be safe.

The K12 Micra received a facelift in 2007, which brought revised rear styling including changes to the tailgate pressing and lamp surrounds. Although both sit on the same K12 platform, whether the pre-facelift (2003–2007) and post-facelift (2007–2010) tailgates interchange is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as mid-generation pressing changes can affect fit. Don't assume compatibility across that 2007 boundary without checking.

Trim level does not affect tailgate fitment on the Micra — an Acenta, Visia, or Tekna tailgate from the same generation will bolt on identically. What may differ is whether the donor tailgate has a rear wiper, a spoiler lip, or badging, so check those cosmetic details with the breaker to make sure the look matches what you need. Mechanically and structurally, trim is not a fitment concern.

No — the K13 (2010–2016) and K14 (2017 onwards) are entirely different generations with no shared bodywork, so their tailgates are not interchangeable. The K14 in particular has a very different roofline and rear pressing compared to the K13. Make sure the part you're quoting for matches your exact generation, which a breaker can confirm from your registration plate.

The 3-door and 5-door Micra variants have different rear body structures, and the tailgates are not the same part even within the same generation. Always specify to the breaker whether your car is 3-door or 5-door so they match the correct tailgate. Getting this wrong is one of the most common fitment mistakes on hatchbacks.

No — engine and gearbox have no bearing on tailgate fitment whatsoever on the Micra. The tailgate is determined purely by generation, body style, and door count. Focus your search on those details and don't let a breaker charge a premium for a part sourced from a specific engine variant.
