Second Hand Nissan Navara Front Panel

The Nissan Navara has been sold in the UK across two main generations relevant to used parts: the D40 (2005–2015) and the current D23 (2016–present). Your generation is the single most important factor when sourcing a front panel, as the two share no front-end bodywork. Always confirm your generation with your registration plate before approaching a breaker.

The D40 ran from 2005 to 2015, but it received a facelift during that period which updated the front-end styling including the grille and surrounding panels. Both a 2008 and a 2013 Navara are D40s, but whether they fall on the same side of that facelift boundary is the key question — confirm the exact facelift cut-off against your registration with the breaker before buying, as panels from different facelift periods may not interchange correctly.

The D23 generation covers 2016 onwards, but like the D40 before it, it received styling updates during its production run that can affect front-end panels, lights and grille surrounds. A 2017 and a 2022 are both D23 Navaras, so you are in the right generation, but you should confirm with the breaker whether both vehicles sit within the same facelift period before purchasing.

Trim level — whether that is Tekna, Acenta, Trek+ or any other Nissan Navara grade — does not affect the fundamental fitment of a front panel, as these are shared across trims within the same generation and facelift period. You may find cosmetic differences such as different grille finishes or chrome detailing between trims, so it is worth checking the appearance of the donor panel against your own vehicle. The breaker will be able to advise on visual differences, but the underlying panel should be the same fit.

No — the front panel is part of the front-end structure and styling, which is shared across all cab configurations within the same generation and facelift period. Whether your Navara is a single cab, king cab or double cab makes no difference to front panel fitment. Focus on confirming the generation (D40 or D23) and facelift period with the breaker instead.

No — the D40 (2005–2015) and D23 (2016–present) are entirely different platforms with different front-end designs, and their front panels are not interchangeable. Always make sure the breaker confirms the generation matches your vehicle's registration before any part is supplied.
