Used sills 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 Primastar was sold as a single generation in the UK, based on the Renault Trafic II / Opel Vivaro A platform, running from 2002 to 2014, so sills from across that full production run are generally considered the same generation. That said, there may have been mid-run pressing changes that are hard to confirm without checking, so ask your breaker to verify the donor vehicle's registration against yours before purchasing. Engine and trim level make no difference to sill fitment.
The Primastar was available in two wheelbases — SWB and LWB — and because the sill runs along the base of the body between the wheel arches, the LWB variant has a longer sill than the SWB. Always tell your breaker which wheelbase your van is so they can match the correct length panel to your vehicle.
No — roof height relates to the upper body structure and does not change the sill, which sits at the base of the vehicle between the front and rear wheel arches. A sill from a standard-roof Primastar will be the same pressing as one from a high-roof van of the same wheelbase, so you only need to match wheelbase when sourcing this panel.
The rear door configuration — barn doors versus a single tailgate — does not affect the sill panel, which is a side-body structural part running below the door apertures. You don't need to specify rear door type to your breaker when sourcing a sill, though it's always worth mentioning your full spec so they can double-check against the donor vehicle.
No — trim level has no bearing on sill fitment for the Primastar; the pressing is determined by wheelbase, not whether the van is a base-spec or a higher-grade variant. There are no trim-specific cosmetic mouldings or cladding on the Primastar sill that would cause a mismatch, so you can source from any trim level as long as the wheelbase matches.
The Primastar shares its platform with the Renault Trafic II and Vauxhall Vivaro A, and sills from these badge-engineered siblings are often quoted as interchangeable — however, whether the panels are identical pressings or carry subtle differences between marques is something you should confirm with your breaker against both registrations rather than assume. If a breaker can verify the part from a Vivaro or Trafic matches your Primastar's wheelbase and checks out against your reg, it may well be a viable option.
