Second Hand Nissan NV250 Sump

The engine code is the single most important detail for sump fitment on the NV250 — it determines the exact block and sump profile, overriding the year or badge alone. You'll find the engine code on your V5C logbook or via a VIN check with your registration. Give this code to the breaker when requesting a quote and ask them to match it directly rather than relying on the year alone.

The NV250 was sold in the UK roughly from 2019 onwards as a single generation, sharing the same 1.5 dCi diesel engine family across the range. If both vehicles share the same engine code, the sump is very likely compatible, but mounting point or ancillary changes can occur mid-production without a formal facelift marker. Confirm fitment against your specific registration with the breaker before purchasing.

Trim level does not affect sump fitment — the sump follows the engine, not the interior or equipment specification. An Acenta and a Tekna NV250 with the same engine code and fuel type will use the same sump. There are no cosmetic sump differences between trims to worry about, so focus entirely on matching the engine code.

Yes, gearbox type can matter because some engines are paired with a combined or closely mounted sump assembly that differs between manual and automatic transmission configurations. Always tell the breaker whether your NV250 is manual or automatic alongside the engine code. Do not assume a sump from a different gearbox variant will bolt straight on without checking.

The NV250 is based on the same platform and shares engines with the Renault Trafic and Vauxhall Vivaro of the same generation, so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility where engine codes match. However, subtle differences in mounting brackets or ancillary fittings can exist between badge-engineered variants built at different points in production. Match the engine code precisely and confirm cross-model compatibility directly with the breaker against your registration before committing.

A used sump is a straightforward mechanical part with no coding or pairing requirements, so mileage on the sump itself matters less than its physical condition. Ask the breaker to confirm the sump has no cracks, corrosion, or damaged threads around the drain plug and mounting faces, and check the condition of the baffle and any integrated oil pick-up if present. Always replace the sump gasket and drain plug washer when fitting a used sump.
