Used Nissan NV200 Towbar

Yes, towbars were available as a factory-fitted or dealer-fitted accessory on the Nissan NV200 van, so you will find genuine used examples in the dismantler network. They were not standard on every vehicle, so some NV200s will have had one added aftermarket rather than from new, but the mounting points and receiver are designed for it. When sourcing a used towbar, confirm with the breaker whether the one they have is a genuine Nissan unit or an aftermarket fitting, as this can affect compatibility.

The Nissan NV200 ran as a single generation in the UK from 2009 through to around 2021, with a facelift introduced in 2013 that refreshed the front end and some interior details but did not change the rear chassis or body structure. Because towbars mount to the rear chassis rails, fitment is generally consistent across the full 2009-2021 production run, but you should still confirm the specific part number with the breaker against your registration before purchasing, as minor pressing or receiver changes between early and late vehicles cannot be ruled out.

The NV200 was sold in the UK in a standard wheelbase configuration as the primary van variant, so wheelbase is not typically a variable you need to worry about in the way it would be with a Transit or Sprinter. However, confirm with the breaker that the towbar they have came from a standard NV200 van rather than any special-bodied or converted variant, as conversions can alter rear-end structure. Providing your registration number to the breaker is the safest way to ensure a direct match.

Yes, this is an important question - the NV200 was available with either a single rear tailgate or twin barn doors, and the towbar design and bracket positions can differ between the two because the lower rear bodywork and bumper mounting differ. Always tell the breaker which rear-door configuration your van has before agreeing a purchase. A barn-door towbar fitted to a tailgate van, or vice versa, is unlikely to fit correctly without modification.

Trim level makes no difference to towbar fitment on the NV200 - the rear chassis and bumper structure are the same whether the van is a base-spec or higher-trim Acenta or Tekna. The towbar bolts to the chassis, not to any trim-specific component, so you do not need to match trim levels when sourcing from a breaker. Just focus on confirming the year, rear-door type, and that the part is undamaged.

The e-NV200 is the all-electric variant that shares the same basic body as the standard NV200, but the rear underbody differs due to the battery pack and electric drivetrain layout, which means the towbar mounting points and bracket design may not be directly interchangeable. Do not assume a towbar from an e-NV200 will bolt straight onto a diesel NV200 or vice versa - confirm this explicitly with the breaker by providing both vehicles' registrations and letting them check the part numbers before you commit to a purchase.
