Second Hand Nissan NV400 Side Skirt

The Nissan NV400 is a panel van and minibus derived from the Renault Master platform, and it was not fitted with side skirts as a factory body panel in any standard variant sold in the UK — side skirts are a cosmetic feature associated with passenger cars and some SUVs, not commercial vans of this type. If you are seeing a trim strip or lower body moulding on a specific vehicle, it may be an aftermarket addition rather than a genuine OEM part. We would suggest checking whether what you need is actually a door step trim, a lower body side moulding, or a sill cover panel, and searching for those terms instead.

On the NV400, what is sometimes called a side skirt in casual conversation is more accurately described as a lower sill moulding or body side step trim, and these do exist on certain NV400 variants, particularly minibus or crew bus conversions. However, these are typically conversion-fitted or aftermarket items rather than parts supplied by Nissan as standard, so availability from a breaker will depend heavily on how the individual vehicle was bodied. It is worth contacting a breaker and quoting your registration so they can identify exactly what trim or moulding was fitted to your specific vehicle.

The NV400 received a facelift around 2019, which brought changes to the front end including the grille, lights and bumpers — however lower body sill mouldings sit along the mid and lower body and are less directly affected by facelift styling changes than front-end panels. That said, because these parts on the NV400 are often conversion-specific rather than standard Nissan parts, whether a pre-facelift (2011–2019) piece crosses over to a post-facelift vehicle is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. A good breaker will be able to cross-reference the part visually or by chassis detail.

For mainstream body panels on the NV400, trim level does not affect structural fitment, and the same principle generally applies here — the van's body shell is shared across trim grades. However, because any sill or lower body trim on an NV400 is likely to be a conversion or optional addition rather than a standard trim-level item, the spec of the donor vehicle matters more than its trim name in this case. Confirm with the breaker what was actually fitted to both vehicles by quoting both registrations.

Because the NV400 is a working commercial vehicle, breakers do dismantle them, but lower cosmetic trim pieces such as sill mouldings are less commonly held in stock than mechanical parts like doors, wings or bumpers. Your best approach is to submit a quote request on Findapart with as much detail as possible — your registration, the side you need (nearside or offside), and ideally a photo or description of the piece — so breakers can confirm whether they have a match from a suitable donor vehicle.
