Second Hand Nissan Micra Window Winder Motor

Both years fall within the K12 generation (2003–2010), so the motors are generally from the same family, but confirm with your breaker against your registration as there were running changes across the production run. You also need to match the side (NS or OS) and whether the car is a 3-door or 5-door, as the front door assemblies differ between body styles. Never assume fitment without the breaker checking your specific vehicle.

These cars are from different generations — the K11 ran from 1992 to 2003, while the K12 ran from 2003 to 2010 — so parts from either side of that 2003 boundary are unlikely to be directly interchangeable. Confirm with your breaker against both registrations before ordering, as they will be able to check whether any crossover fitment applies. Always match the side (NS or OS) and door count when sourcing the replacement.

Yes, this matters for the front doors — the door shells on 3-door and 5-door Micras differ in size and design, so the window winder motor is not interchangeable between the two body styles for the front. Rear doors on a 5-door are their own fitment and are not shared with the front regardless. Always tell your breaker the door count and which side you need (NS for passenger/left or OS for driver/right).

Trim level does not affect the fitment of the window winder motor itself — what matters is the generation, door count, and side (NS or OS). Higher trim levels on the K12 such as SVE or Urbis may have had different interior finishes or door furniture, but the motor fitting into the door is the same mechanical part. Your breaker may supply a motor from any trim level and it should suit your door, though cosmetic differences in surrounding trim pieces are possible.

In UK convention, NS (nearside) is the passenger side on the left, and OS (offside) is the driver side on the right. The motors are side-specific and not interchangeable between NS and OS, so make sure you identify the faulty window before contacting a breaker. Tell your breaker the side, the door position (front or rear), and your registration so they can match the correct part to your generation and body style.

The K11 (1992–2003) and K12 (2003–2010) are distinct generations with different door structures, so a motor from one generation is very unlikely to fit the other. You should always source a motor matched to your specific generation, confirmed by your breaker against your registration. Make sure to also specify the correct side (NS or OS) and whether your car is a 3-door or 5-door when requesting a quote.
