Second Hand Nissan NV200 Bulkhead

The NV200 has been sold in the UK in a single generation throughout its production run, so the platform and body structure have remained consistent, but there was a facelift around 2013 that may have brought minor pressing or panel changes. For bulkheads sourced either side of that 2013 facelift, confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying, as subtle differences can exist even within a single generation. The core van structure is broadly consistent, but never assume without checking.

These fall either side of the 2013 facelift, and while the NV200 remains one continuous generation, mid-generation pressing changes are possible and this is exactly the kind of cross-facelift swap you must confirm with the breaker against both registrations. The platform is the same, so fitment is plausible, but the breaker will be best placed to compare the two panels directly. Don't proceed on assumption alone.

The bulkhead sits between the cab and the load area, so the rear door style – barn doors versus tailgate – does not directly affect whether the bulkhead itself fits. What matters more for the overall structure is that you're matching the same body style and wheelbase, both of which are consistent across the standard NV200 panel van. Confirm with the breaker that the donor vehicle matches your van's configuration to be safe.

Trim level does not affect bulkhead fitment on the NV200; the panel itself is determined by the platform, body style, and wheelbase rather than whether the donor was an SE or Acenta. You may find cosmetic differences such as any factory-fitted trim panels or insulation attached to the bulkhead from a higher-spec donor, but the structural pressing should be the same. Strip or transfer any trim panels as needed and the underlying bulkhead should suit your van.

The NV200 is generally offered in a standard wheelbase configuration as a panel van in the UK, so wheelbase variation is less of a concern here than on some larger vans, but you should still confirm with the breaker that the donor vehicle matches your exact variant. The bulkhead itself is a front structural panel separating cab from load bay, and any significant body differences between variants could affect fit. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can match the correct donor vehicle.

The e-NV200 is an electric variant sharing the same platform as the NV200, but differences in the front structure and underbody to accommodate the electric drivetrain mean there may be corresponding changes to surrounding panels including the bulkhead. Whether a bulkhead crosses between the e-NV200 and the standard NV200 is something you must confirm with the breaker against both registrations rather than assume. The shared platform is encouraging but not a guarantee of interchangeability for this part.
