Used door hinges 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:
These are from different generations — the first-generation Qashqai ran from 2006 to 2013, while the second-generation (J11) launched in 2014, so the body structures are completely different and the hinges will not interchange. You need to make sure the breaker is supplying a hinge from the correct generation for your car. Always confirm the match against your registration when getting a quote.
Yes, this matters significantly — hinges are handed to the specific side of the car, so a nearside (NS, passenger/left) hinge is not the same as an offside (OS, driver/right) hinge. When contacting a breaker, tell them clearly which side you need using NS or OS to avoid getting the wrong part. Fitting the wrong side is not possible without modification.
Trim level does not affect door hinge fitment on the Qashqai — the hinge is part of the body structure and is the same across Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta, Tekna, and other grades within the same generation. You may notice cosmetic differences such as paint colour or door finish on donor parts, but those do not affect whether the hinge itself fits. Focus on matching the generation and side rather than the trim.
Both years fall within the second-generation Qashqai (J11, 2014 to 2021), so there is a reasonable possibility of compatibility, but the J11 received a facelift in 2017 and there may be subtle body changes around that point. Name the generation boundary to your breaker and ask them to confirm the hinge will match your specific registration before buying. Never assume fitment across a facelift year without that check.
No — engine type has no bearing on door hinge fitment whatsoever, as the hinge is purely part of the body structure and is identical across petrol and diesel variants within the same generation. The details that matter are the generation (first-gen 2006–2013 or second-gen J11 2014–2021) and the side of the car (NS or OS). You can disregard engine type entirely when searching for this part.
No — the first and second-generation Qashqai have entirely different body shells, so hinges from one generation will not fit the other. Always make sure the breaker's donor vehicle is from the same generation as yours, confirmed against your registration. Mixing generations on structural body parts like hinges is not feasible.
