Second Hand Nissan Navara Rear Tailgate

The Navara D40 ran from 2005 to 2015, and tailgates within that generation share the same basic body platform, so a D40 tailgate is generally a strong candidate for another D40. However, there were pressing and styling updates during the D40's long production run, so confirm with the breaker that the donor vehicle's registration year closely matches yours to avoid subtle panel or aperture differences. Never assume fitment without the breaker checking both registrations.

No — the D23 (NP300) Navara, launched in 2016, is an entirely different generation and platform from the D40, so the tailgates are not interchangeable. Always source a tailgate from the matching generation to your vehicle. Confirm the exact generation of any donor vehicle with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.

Trim level — whether Acenta, SE, Tekna, or Trek — does not affect which tailgate pressing is used on the Navara, so the same panel will fit across trims within the same generation. That said, higher trims like Tekna may have a different factory finish, badging, handle colour, or camera aperture cut-out, so a Tekna tailgate fitted to an Acenta may need cosmetic attention to match. Confirm any specific feature differences with the breaker against both registrations, but fitment itself is not a trim-level concern.

Both 2010 and 2014 Navaras fall within the D40 generation (2005–2015), so they share the same platform. That said, the D40 had a notable facelift around 2010, and mid-generation pressing updates can sometimes introduce subtle differences to rear panels, so a 2014 to 2010 swap spans a period where changes may have occurred. Name the boundary clearly to your breaker and ask them to verify the donor and recipient registrations match closely enough before buying.

No — the King Cab (extended cab) and Double Cab are distinct body styles with different rear-end dimensions, and their tailgates are not interchangeable. Always confirm the body style of the donor vehicle with the breaker matches your own King Cab or Double Cab configuration exactly. Body style is the first question to settle before anything else when sourcing a tailgate.

Engine choice — whether 2.5 dCi or any other option — has no bearing on tailgate fitment whatsoever, so you can disregard the donor vehicle's engine entirely. What matters is that the donor is the same generation (D40 2005–2015, or D23 2016-onwards) and the same body style as your vehicle. Confirm both points with the breaker against your registration and you can safely ignore any engine details listed in the advert.
