Choosing the right used Nissan NV300 drive shaft
Used drive shafts 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:
Also known as: half shaft, driveshaft, prop shaft.

Fitment questions
Will a drive shaft from a 2017 Nissan NV300 fit a 2019 Nissan NV300?
The Nissan NV300 is a single generation van based on the Renault Trafic platform, sold in the UK from 2016 onwards, so a 2017 and a 2019 are within the same production run. That said, fitment of a used drive shaft depends primarily on engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type rather than year alone — match those details first. Confirm with the breaker that there were no mid-production driveline changes between those years by supplying your registration or VIN.
Does the engine code matter when buying a used drive shaft for a Nissan NV300?
Yes — the engine code is the single most important detail for drive shaft fitment on the NV300, more so than the year or badge on the van. The NV300 was offered with different 1.6-litre twin-turbo diesel variants producing different outputs, and these can correspond to different driveline specifications. Find your engine code on the V5 logbook or via a VIN check, and give it to the breaker before agreeing a purchase.
Does it matter whether I have a manual or automatic gearbox when buying a Nissan NV300 drive shaft?
Yes, gearbox type directly affects drive shaft fitment — a shaft from a manual transmission van will not be correct for one with an automatic gearbox. Always confirm your gearbox type with the breaker alongside your engine code and fuel type to make sure the shaft matches your driveline setup. Never assume a drive shaft will interchange between transmission types.
Will a Nissan NV300 drive shaft also fit a Renault Trafic or Vauxhall Vivaro?
The NV300, Renault Trafic, and Vauxhall Vivaro are closely related and share the same platform, so breakers often cross-reference parts between them. In practice, drive shaft compatibility depends on matching engine code, gearbox type, and driveline specification rather than the badge on the van. Raise this directly with the breaker — they will be able to confirm whether a shaft from a Trafic or Vivaro donor vehicle matches your NV300's spec.
Does the trim level — for example Acenta or Tekna — affect which drive shaft I need for my Nissan NV300?
Trim level does not affect drive shaft fitment — Acenta, Tekna, or any other trim designation refers to equipment and comfort features rather than the driveline. What matters is engine code, fuel type, gearbox type, and whether the shaft is for the nearside (NS) or offside (OS) — not the trim badge. You may simply find that higher-trim vans came with different interior or technology options, but mechanically the drive shaft selection is identical where the engine and gearbox match.
How do I know if I need a nearside or offside drive shaft on my Nissan NV300?
Nearside (NS) refers to the left-hand side of the vehicle as you sit in the driver's seat, and offside (OS) refers to the right-hand side — these are not interchangeable parts. On a front-wheel-drive van like the NV300, the two drive shafts can also differ in length, so specifying the correct side to the breaker is essential. Give the breaker your engine code and gearbox type alongside the NS or OS requirement to ensure you receive the right shaft.
