Used cv jointss vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The NV300 is a front-wheel-drive van, so it does have CV joints on the front driveshafts — one on the nearside (NS) and one on the offside (OS). There is no rear-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive variant, so there are no rear CV joints or propshaft on this model. When searching with a breaker, make sure to specify NS or OS, as the two sides are not interchangeable.
The Nissan NV300 was introduced in 2016 as a rebadged Renault Trafic third generation (X82 platform), and all UK NV300s sold sit within that single generation. Because the van shares its platform and driveshaft architecture with the Trafic X82 throughout its UK lifespan, parts from different NV300 model years are more likely to be compatible than parts spanning a full generation change — however, you should always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.
The NV300 was offered with 1.6-litre dCi diesel engines in various power outputs (115, 125, 145 and 170 bhp). Driveshaft and CV joint specification can vary with power output on this platform, so the engine variant does matter — not just the displacement. Always give the breaker your full registration or the engine code stamped on the van so they can match the correct driveshaft specification.
The NV300 was available in different GVW ratings — typically around 2,900 kg and 3,100 kg variants — and the running gear including driveshafts can differ between these. Check the plate in your driver's door aperture for the exact GVW figure and pass this to the breaker, as ordering by model name alone may not be enough to guarantee the right part. This is particularly important when buying from a dismantler, as the van's plate is the most reliable reference.
Trim level does not affect CV joint fitment on the NV300 — the driveshafts are determined by engine variant, power output and GVW rating, not by whether the van is an SE or Tekna. You may find cosmetic differences between donor vans at a breaker's yard, but these are irrelevant to the running gear. Focus on engine code, power output and payload rating when sourcing the part.
The NV300 is built on the same X82 platform as the third-generation Renault Trafic (2014 onwards), and the two vans share a large proportion of their driveline components. In practice, Trafic driveshafts and CV joints are widely used as alternatives by UK breakers and trade suppliers. That said, you should confirm the specific part number matches your engine variant and GVW rating with the breaker before agreeing a sale, as sub-variants exist across the shared platform.
