Second Hand Nissan NP300 Air Conditioning Condenser

The NP300 Navara (D23 generation, launched in the UK around 2016) replaced the older NP300/D22 platform, and the two are not interchangeable — the D23 is a completely different vehicle with a different engine bay layout. Within the D23 generation, year-to-year fitment can vary depending on engine code and whether any mounting or ancillary changes were made mid-production, so always confirm against your registration with the breaker before buying.

The AC condenser exists across NP300 variants that were fitted with air conditioning, but the condenser dimensions and bracket positions can differ between engine variants — most importantly between the 2.3-litre twin-turbo diesel (engine code YS23DDT) and any single-turbo or alternative engine layout offered in that generation. Your engine code, which you'll find on your V5C or via a VIN check, is the single most useful detail to give the breaker so they can match the right unit.

Trim level — whether your truck is a Visia, Acenta, Tekna, or any other grade — does not affect which AC condenser you need, as this is a mechanical and thermal component determined by the engine and cooling system, not the badge or specification level. What matters is your engine code, fuel type, and model year, so don't let trim differences put you off a part from a different-spec donor vehicle.

The D23-generation NP300 Navara received a facelift, and while the core condenser unit may be shared across the generation, ancillary fittings and mounting points can sometimes change at facelift boundaries, which is not something we can confirm as fact here. Name the facelift year and your registration to the breaker and ask them to cross-reference both units before purchase — never assume a part crosses that boundary without checking.

An AC condenser is only present if your NP300 was built with an air conditioning system — most UK-market NP300 Navara D23 models were supplied with factory air conditioning or climate control as standard from Visia upwards, so the majority of UK trucks will have one. However, if your vehicle was a base-spec or fleet-stripped example, it is worth confirming air conditioning was fitted before ordering a condenser — the easiest check is whether you have an AC button on the dashboard or a compressor visible on the front of the engine.

The AC condenser itself is not directly gearbox-dependent, but gearbox type can be associated with different engine tune variants or cooling package differences, so it is worth mentioning your gearbox type as well as your engine code when contacting the breaker. In most cases the condenser will be the same unit regardless of manual or automatic transmission, but confirming with the breaker against your registration is always the safest step.
