Used transfer boxs 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:
No — the Nissan NV300 is a front-wheel-drive van in all variants sold in the UK, and it was never offered with four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Because there is no 4WD system, there is no transfer box on any NV300 at any trim level or engine option. If your van is pulling to one side or making drivetrain noises, the fault is more likely to lie with a driveshaft, CV joint, gearbox, or differential, and a breaker can help you source the correct part once you have your engine code and registration to hand.
It's very likely there has been a mix-up in terminology — the NV300 is strictly front-wheel drive and has never been fitted with a transfer box in any production variant. The part the breaker or a diagnostic report may be referring to is more probably the gearbox (manual or automatic), a driveshaft, or a differential housing. Give the breaker your registration and engine code from your V5 so they can identify the exact component you actually need.
This question doesn't apply to the NV300, because the NV300 has no transfer box to replace — it is a front-wheel-drive-only vehicle with no 4WD hardware at all. The NV400 is also front-wheel drive in standard form, so the same limitation applies there. If you are researching a different Nissan van that does have 4WD, check the engine code and generation carefully with a breaker before purchasing any drivetrain component.
Trim level makes no difference here for a straightforward reason: no NV300 variant, whether entry-level Visia or higher-spec Acenta or Tekna, was ever built with a transfer box, because the entire range is front-wheel drive only. If you need a drivetrain part, focus on your engine code and gearbox type rather than trim, as those are what determine which gearbox, driveshaft, or differential will interchange correctly. A breaker will ask for your registration and engine code to confirm the right part.
Because the NV300 has no transfer box, the noise is most likely coming from a worn driveshaft or CV joint, the gearbox itself, or a differential component. Have the vehicle inspected to pinpoint the source, then supply your registration, engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check), and fuel type to a breaker so they can match the correct used part to your exact variant. Getting the engine code right is especially important on the NV300 because it shares its platform and some mechanical parts with the Renault Trafic and Vauxhall Vivaro, meaning parts availability is generally good once the code is confirmed.
