Second Hand Nissan Terrano Bonnet Latch

The Nissan Terrano sold in the UK under the Terrano II nameplate ran from 1993 to 2006, and bonnet latches are shared across the range regardless of wheelbase, door count, or trim level within the same generation. The key boundary to check is the 1996 facelift, which brought changes to the front end including the grille and surrounding panels. If your donor vehicle and your car are both pre-facelift (1993–1996) or both post-facelift (1996–2006), fitment is very likely to match, but confirm with the breaker against your registration if you are unsure which side of that boundary either vehicle falls on.

These two vehicles sit either side of the 1996 facelift, which updated the front end of the Terrano II, so there is a genuine question about whether the latch and its mounting points changed at that point. We cannot state with certainty that the pre-facelift and post-facelift latches interchange, so you should confirm with the breaker using both registration numbers before buying.

No — the bonnet latch is a front-end mechanical component that is the same across engine variants and drivetrain configurations on the Terrano II. Whether your vehicle has a petrol or diesel engine, or two-wheel or four-wheel drive, makes no difference to latch fitment. The generation and facelift period are the only details that matter here.

Trim level does not affect the bonnet latch on the Terrano II — the latch mechanism itself is the same whether the vehicle is a base model, SGX, or Sport. The trim level can influence things like grille styling and badging, but the latch and its striker plate are shared components across trims within the same facelift period. You may find cosmetic differences in surrounding parts, but the latch itself should not vary by trim.

Yes — the bonnet latch sits at the front of the vehicle and is unaffected by wheelbase differences, which relate to the length of the body behind the front panels. Both wheelbase variants share the same front-end structure within a given facelift period, so wheelbase is not a concern when sourcing this part. Focus instead on confirming the facelift period matches between donor and recipient vehicle.

Give the breaker your full registration number so they can confirm the exact facelift period of your vehicle, and ask them to do the same for the donor car they are stripping. The 1996 facelift is the critical boundary for front-end parts on the Terrano II, so both vehicles ideally need to be on the same side of that line. Engine, trim, and body style details are not relevant to this part, so you do not need to worry about those when making your enquiry.
