Nissan Terrano Rear Tailgate Replacement Parts

The Nissan Terrano in the UK was sold across two main generations: the first generation (R20) ran from 1987 to 1996, and the second generation (R50) ran from 1996 to 2006. A tailgate from within the same generation should be your starting point, as the two generations are completely different vehicles with no panel interchangeability. Always confirm the exact year range with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.

The R50 Terrano II generation ran from 1996 to 2006, and parts from within that run are your best candidates for a match. However, there were detail changes made during that production span, and whether a very early R50 tailgate crosses to a later R50 without issue is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration. The generation boundary itself is clear, but mid-run pressing differences are possible and we cannot state these as fact here.

The Terrano II (R50) was offered in both 3-door and 5-door body styles in the UK, and the tailgate is specific to the door count - a 3-door and a 5-door tailgate are not the same panel. Always make sure the breaker's part comes from the same body style as your vehicle, and quote your registration so they can verify this.

Trim level does not affect tailgate fitment on the Terrano - a tailgate from an SE will fit the same body style and generation as one from a Sport or SGX, for example. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as badging, spoilers, or wiper configurations between trim levels, so check what you are getting if appearance matters to you. The key fitment factors remain generation, body style, and door count.

The Terrano II shares its R50 platform with the Nissan Pathfinder and Mistral sold in other markets, and there may be panel similarities, but whether a tailgate from one of those variants fits your UK Terrano II without modification is not something we can state as fact. Differences in trim, glazing cutouts, or pressings between same-platform variants sold under different names is exactly the kind of detail you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.

Both 2002 and 2005 fall within the R50 Terrano II generation (1996-2006), so you are within the right generation, which is a good starting point. That said, mid-generation pressing or detail changes during a long production run cannot be ruled out, and we cannot confirm these as fact here. Have the breaker check both the donor and recipient registrations to be sure before you commit.
