Second Hand Nissan NP300 Rear Tailgate

The NP300 Navara was introduced in the UK around 2015 and has continued in production, so confirm with your breaker whether the part is from the same phase of production as your vehicle, as there may be mid-generation pressing changes that are not always obvious from the outside. The generation name and platform are your first reference point, and a tailgate from the same NP300 generation is your safest starting point. Always confirm the specific year of the donor vehicle against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.

Yes, body style is the most important fitment factor for a tailgate – the King Cab (extra cab) and Double Cab are distinct body styles with different rear-end dimensions, and their tailgates are not the same part. Always tell your breaker which body style you have, not just the model name, as both were sold under the NP300 Navara nameplate in the UK. A Double Cab tailgate will not fit a King Cab and vice versa.

Trim level does not affect tailgate fitment on the NP300 Navara – a tailgate from an Acenta, Tekna, or N-Guard of the same body style and generation will fit the same opening. You may find cosmetic differences such as badging, a different finish, or whether a reversing camera aperture is present, so check the donor part matches your requirements before buying. The breaker can help you confirm any cosmetic details against your registration.

Both 2015 and 2018 fall within the NP300 generation, so in principle they share the same platform, which is the primary fitment factor. However, you should confirm with the breaker whether any mid-generation pressing changes were made between those years, as subtle panel revisions are possible and cannot be guaranteed from model year alone. Match body style (King Cab or Double Cab) and have the breaker check both registration plates before agreeing the sale.

The NP300 platform underpins Navara variants sold in several markets under different names, and while the basic structure may be shared, panel differences between same-platform variants sold under different names is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. Body style and generation remain the starting point, but regional variants can have different pressing details, camera apertures, or handle positions. Route this question directly to the breaker with both vehicle identifiers to hand.

This is a practical fitment consideration rather than a structural one – a tailgate without a camera aperture can be fitted to a vehicle that has a reversing camera, but you would lose camera function or need additional work to create the aperture, and the reverse also applies. Trim level is the most likely guide to whether a camera was factory-fitted, so tell your breaker your trim (for example Acenta or Tekna) and whether your current tailgate has a camera cutout. The breaker can then source a like-for-like panel that avoids unnecessary modifications.
