Also known as: door mirror, side mirror.
The Nissan Primera ran across three generations in the UK: the P10 (1990–1996), the P11 (1996–2002), and the P12 (2002–2008). Wing mirrors are generation-specific, so a P10 mirror will not fit a P12 and vice versa — always confirm which generation your car is before getting a quote from a breaker.
Both a 1998 and a 2001 Primera fall within the P11 generation (1996–2002), so there is a reasonable chance the mirror shell will interchange, but the P11 did receive a facelift in 1999 that may have introduced changes to mirror mounting or styling details. Name the boundary to your breaker and ask them to cross-reference both cars' registrations before agreeing a sale.
These cars sit either side of a generation change — the 2001 car is a P11 and the 2003 car is a P12 — and mirrors are not interchangeable across that boundary. Source a mirror specifically listed for the P12 generation and confirm fitment with the breaker against your registration.
Trim level — whether LX, SX, SVE, or any other grade — does not affect the physical fitment of the mirror frame to the door. What can differ is whether the mirror is electrically adjustable, heated, or has a built-in indicator, so if your car has any of those features you should confirm the mirror's specification with the breaker against your registration rather than assuming any same-generation unit will be a direct plug-in replacement.
Yes, this can matter — the front door shape and mirror mounting on a 3-door and a 5-door are not necessarily the same, so you should tell the breaker which body style your car is when requesting a quote. The Primera was available in both 3-door and 5-door bodystyles across its generations, and fitting a mirror intended for the wrong body style may mean it does not sit or seal correctly.
Alongside confirming NS (nearside, passenger side, left when sitting in the car), you should tell the breaker your car's generation (P10, P11, or P12), the body style (3-door or 5-door), and your registration so they can cross-reference it. Features such as electric adjustment, heating, folding, or an indicator in the mirror housing can vary within the same generation, so confirm those details with the breaker too — colour is not a fitment concern as the casing can be resprayed to match your car.
