Nissan NV200 Headrest Replacement Parts

The NV200 is a panel van andkombi (people-carrier) model, and headrests do exist on it — but only on seats that are fitted to the vehicle. The panel van (cargo) version typically has a driver's seat and a front passenger bench or seat, all of which carry headrests, while the kombi/Evalia variant adds rear passenger seats with their own headrests. If you're looking for a rear headrest and you have a pure panel van, it's worth confirming whether your vehicle actually has rear seats fitted before ordering.

The NV200 ran in one main generation from its UK launch around 2009 through to around 2021, receiving a facelift in 2013 that updated styling and some interior details. Headrests within the same generation and the same trim or seat type will generally be compatible, but whether a pre-facelift (pre-2013) headrest crosses cleanly into a post-facelift (2013 onwards) seat is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as seat upholstery and post design can vary across that boundary.

Trim level can matter for the NV200 because seat style and upholstery differ between variants — for example, the kombi/Evalia SE or Tekna trims may have different seat designs compared to base-level vans, which can affect headrest post diameter, guide spacing, or cover material. The headrest post and guide fitment is the mechanical concern, while fabric or leather covering is a cosmetic difference you should expect if mixing trims. Ask the breaker to match the headrest to your specific trim level and seat type rather than just the vehicle generation.

The Evalia is the kombi/people-carrier version of the NV200 and shares the same basic platform, but rear passenger seat headrests in the Evalia are a different part from the front headrests in the panel van. For the front seats the parts may be shared across van and Evalia variants of the same generation, but rear headrests are specific to models that actually have rear seating, so confirm with the breaker that they're supplying from the correct row and seat position for your vehicle.

For most standard bench or individual seat headrests the left/right distinction doesn't apply — headrests are typically interchangeable across the same row because they use identical posts and guides. However, if your NV200 has a split front bench or individually contoured seats with asymmetric shaping, side can occasionally matter, so it's worth mentioning NS (nearside, left) or OS (offside, right) when getting a quote from the breaker just to be safe.

A standard headrest is one of the simplest interior parts to swap — in most cases you pull the old one out of the seat guides and push the replacement in, with no tools required. There are no safety-critical systems involved with a headrest itself (unlike seats with integrated airbags or pretensioner belts, which do require professional attention), so DIY fitting is perfectly reasonable. Just confirm the post diameter and guide spacing match before fitting, and check the breaker has supplied the correct generation and trim to match your seat.
