Used ignition barrels 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 Nissan NV400, produced from 2010 onwards, uses a conventional keyed ignition system, so yes, it does have a physical ignition barrel. This is a cylindrical lock assembly mounted on the steering column that you insert and turn to start the van. If your barrel is worn, seized, or damaged, a used replacement from a breaker is a practical and cost-effective option.
The NV400 received a facelift around 2014-2015, so a 2013 unit comes from the pre-facelift generation and a 2018 unit from the post-facelift generation. The steering column and barrel housing can differ across that boundary, so while some components may carry over, you should confirm compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration before buying. Never assume a cross-generation swap will be a direct fit.
Trim level — whether that's SE, Tekna, or a fleet specification — does not affect ignition barrel fitment on the NV400, as the steering column assembly is shared across the range. You may find minor cosmetic differences in the surrounding trim or shroud plastics, but the barrel itself should be the same part. Focus your search on year and generation rather than trim grade.
No — the ignition barrel on the NV400 is part of the steering column and is not engine- or gearbox-specific. Whether your van is fitted with the 2.3-litre dCi engine in any of its power outputs, or paired with a manual or automatic gearbox, the barrel itself is unaffected. Confirm the model year with the breaker rather than worrying about drivetrain spec.
The facelift around 2014-2015 can bring changes to steering column components, and whether the barrel crosses that boundary cleanly is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration. Name the generation boundary clearly when you contact them — pre-facelift (2010 to approximately 2014) versus post-facelift (approximately 2014 onwards) — so they can check their salvage vehicle's year against yours. A good breaker will verify this before dispatch.
The Nissan NV400 is a rebadged version of the Renault Master and Vauxhall Movano of the same generation, and the ignition barrel may well be shared across all three. However, because lock and immobiliser coding can vary by market and specification, you should confirm with the breaker that the part number or physical fitment matches your van's registration before purchasing. This cross-brand compatibility is worth exploring as it widens your pool of available used parts.
