A used rear cross member that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
No — the R50 (1996–2004) and R51 (2005–2014) are completely different generations built on different platforms, so the rear cross member will not interchange between them. Always source a rear cross member from the correct generation for your vehicle. Confirm the exact generation with your breaker against your registration before ordering.
Both sit on the same R51 platform, so there is a reasonable chance the rear cross member carries over across the 2010 facelift, but mid-generation pressing changes can occur without being widely documented. Name the boundary to your breaker — pre-facelift 2005–2009 versus facelift 2010–2014 — and ask them to check the part against your registration before they pull it.
Trim level does not affect rear cross member fitment on the Pathfinder — S, SE, and SVE are all built on the same body structure for a given generation. You may find minor cosmetic or corrosion-protection differences on the part itself depending on age and condition, but these do not affect whether it fits. Match generation and body style, not trim, and you will be looking at the right part.
The Pathfinder sold in the UK across both the R50 and R51 generations was offered as a five-door SUV, so body style variation is not typically a concern for UK buyers sourcing this part. The rear cross member is specific to the generation — R50 or R51 — rather than to any body style variant. Confirm with your breaker against your registration that the donor vehicle matches your generation.
The Pathfinder, Terrano, and Navara share some platform DNA in certain generations, but rear structural components such as the cross member are body-specific and differences between same-platform variants sold under different names are not something we can state as fact here. Route this question directly to your breaker, who can compare the part physically against your registration before committing. Do not assume interchangeability based on platform alone.
Both years fall within the R51 generation (2005–2014), with the facelift arriving around 2010, so you are comparing a pre-facelift donor to a pre-facelift or facelift recipient depending on which side you look at. Whether the cross member changed in detail at that facelift boundary is not something we can confirm as fact, so give your breaker both years and ask them to verify the part matches before they dispatch it. Generation match is the right starting point, but the breaker's confirmation is essential.
