Used Nissan Navara Central Locking Motor

The Navara D40 ran from 2005 to 2015 and received a facelift around 2010, so there are early and late versions within the same generation. Central locking motors from within the D40 generation are generally considered interchangeable, but whether a pre-facelift motor crosses cleanly to a post-facelift door is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration, as door loom and actuator mount details can vary. Always quote your reg when requesting a quote.

The NP300 Navara (D23) replaced the D40 from around 2016 onwards and is a different generation with redesigned doors and locking mechanisms, so the two generations do not share central locking motors. You should source a motor specifically from a D23 donor vehicle if your Navara is a 2016-onwards NP300. Confirm the exact year of your vehicle with the breaker to make sure they match it correctly.

No — the central locking motor is part of the door mechanism and is not influenced by whether your Navara has a 2.5 dCi, 3.0 dCi, or any other engine variant. Generation and door position (front NS, front OS, rear NS, rear OS) are what matter here. Focus on matching the model generation and door side when getting quotes from breakers.

Trim level — whether Visia, Acenta, SE, or Tekna — does not affect which central locking motor is fitted, as the door actuator mechanism is the same across the range within a generation. You may find cosmetic differences on the door cards between trims, but the motor itself is interchangeable. Just make sure the donor vehicle is the same generation and the motor comes from the same door position as the one you need.

The door positions on a left-hand-drive vehicle are mirrored compared to a UK right-hand-drive Navara, so a driver's door motor from a left-hand-drive vehicle would correspond to the passenger side on yours. As long as the generation matches and you account for this NS/OS swap, the motor itself is often the same part, but confirm this with the breaker before buying as wiring connector orientation can occasionally differ. Always clarify your vehicle's registration and the specific door when requesting a quote.

Specify whether you need a front or rear motor, and whether it is nearside (NS, kerb side, left on a UK car) or offside (OS, driver's side, right on a UK car) — this gives the breaker exactly what they need to pull the correct part. The Navara is a pickup truck available in both King Cab and Double Cab body styles, so also confirm your body style as rear door availability differs between them. Getting these details right upfront avoids being sent the wrong actuator.
