Cheap Nissan Primera Rear View Mirror

The Nissan Primera ran across three generations in the UK — the P10 (roughly 1990–1996), the P11 (1996–2002), and the P12 (2002–2008) — and the interior rear view mirror is generation-specific, so a mirror from a different generation is very unlikely to clip or bond correctly to your windscreen. Within the same generation there was also a facelift on the P11 around 1999, and although the mirror mounting is unlikely to have changed, you should confirm with the breaker that the mirror from the specific year they have matches your registration before buying.

For the standard interior rear view mirror, trim level makes very little practical difference to fitment — the mounting point on the windscreen is the same across variants such as S, SE, SVE, and Sport within a given generation. You may notice minor cosmetic differences such as the finish or whether the mirror has auto-dimming on higher trims, so check with the breaker what spec the mirror they're offering actually is to make sure you're happy with how it will look.

The P11 (1996–2002) and P12 (2002–2008) are distinct generations with different screen angles and interior architecture, so a mirror from the P11 is very unlikely to be a straightforward swap onto a P12. Confirm with the breaker against your specific registration before purchasing, as mounting boss design and any wiring for features like auto-dimming will differ between the two generations.

The P11 received a facelift around 1999, and while the windscreen mounting point is unlikely to have changed significantly mid-generation, it is not guaranteed that a pre-facelift mirror will be identical in fixing or appearance to the post-facelift version. Ask the breaker to check the mirror against your registration to be sure, as this is the safest way to confirm compatibility across the facelift boundary.

The interior rear view mirror is mounted to the windscreen and is not affected by body style, so whether your Primera is a hatchback or saloon should make no difference to fitment within the same generation. Generation is the key factor to get right, so make sure the breaker is supplying a mirror from the same P10, P11, or P12 generation as your car.

Give the breaker your registration number and let them know which generation your car is — P10, P11, or P12 — and whether your mirror has any features such as auto-dimming, as these affect the part they need to source. If your mirror has an electrical connector for auto-dimming or a compass display, mention that too so the breaker can match the correct specification.
