Nissan NV200 Rear Tailgate Replacement Parts

The Nissan NV200 was introduced in the UK around 2009 and has continued as a single generation throughout its production run, meaning there is no separate Mk2 or wholesale platform change to navigate. However, Nissan did refresh the NV200 with a facelift around 2013, which can bring subtle changes to rear body pressings and trim lines. For a tailgate, always confirm with the breaker whether the donor vehicle is pre- or post-facelift and cross-reference against your registration to be sure the panel matches.

A 2012 NV200 is pre-facelift and a 2016 model sits in the post-facelift period from around 2013 onwards, so you are crossing a known refresh boundary. Whether the tailgate pressing and fixings are interchangeable across that boundary is not something that can be stated with certainty, and you should confirm with the breaker using both your registration and the donor vehicle's registration before purchasing. If the breaker can match the exact body pressings visually, that is your best assurance of a good fit.

Yes, this is one of the most important questions to get right on any van: the NV200 was offered with either a single top-hinged tailgate or twin barn doors depending on specification, and these are completely different assemblies that will not interchange. Always tell the breaker which configuration your van has, and confirm the donor vehicle matches, before agreeing a price. Swapping the entire configuration is a major structural change and not a straightforward like-for-like replacement.

The NV200 was offered in standard-roof form, and any high-roof variant would have a different rear aperture height, meaning the tailgate from one roof height will not fit the other. Always specify your roof height to the breaker and ask them to confirm the same on the donor vehicle. Fitting the wrong roof-height tailgate is not possible without significant bodywork modification.

Trim level does not affect tailgate fitment on the NV200; the panel itself is the same regardless of whether the donor van was a base, SE, or Acenta grade. What can differ is the presence of a rear wiper, wash jet, heated glass, or badging, so check the donor van's specification matches yours for those features to avoid extra work swapping components across. The breaker can usually tell you what equipment the donor tailgate carries.

The e-NV200 shares its platform and body with the standard NV200, so in principle the tailgate aperture is the same; however, there can be differences in panel pressings, badging cut-outs, and rear lighting arrangements between the two variants. Because this is a case of two vehicles sold under different names on the same platform, you should confirm the exact fit with the breaker by checking both registrations rather than assuming straightforward interchangeability. A reputable breaker will be able to compare the two physically before dispatch.
