Used Nissan Terrano Rear View Mirror

The Terrano was sold in the UK across two main generations — the first generation (R20) ran from 1987 to 1996, and the second generation (R50) ran from 1996 to 2006 — so confirming which generation you have is the most important starting point. You should also let the breaker know your trim level, as interior finish and fittings can vary. Engine type makes no difference to interior mirror fitment, so you don't need to worry about that.

The Terrano II (R50 generation) ran from 1996 through to 2006, and there were running changes and facelifts during that period that may have affected interior trim and mirror mounting. Parts from within the same generation are more likely to be compatible than parts crossing into the earlier R20 generation, but whether a specific early R50 mirror fits a later R50 example is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as mounting points or trim differences may apply.

For interior rear view mirrors, trim level typically makes little difference to the mirror itself, as the fitting and function are generally consistent across the range on the same generation. You may notice minor cosmetic differences — for example, the surround or finish — between higher and lower spec trim levels such as Sport or SE variants, so it is worth mentioning your trim to the breaker so they can match the look as closely as possible. The core fitment should not be affected by trim level.

The R20 (first generation, 1987–1996) and the R50 Terrano II (1996–2006) are quite different vehicles with different interior architecture, so it is very unlikely that mirrors are directly interchangeable between generations. You should not assume cross-generation compatibility, and a breaker familiar with both models would be the right person to check whether any part could physically cross that boundary. Always confirm against your registration before purchasing.

For an interior rear view mirror, the number of doors on your Terrano does not typically affect fitment, as the mirror mounts to the windscreen and is not related to the door count. You should still confirm the generation and trim level with the breaker, but door count is unlikely to be a factor they need to worry about for this particular part.

Both a 1998 and a 2003 Terrano II fall within the R50 generation (1996–2006), so they are from the same broad family, which is a good starting point for compatibility. However, there were updates within the R50's production run, and whether a specific mirror from a 2003 car fits a 1998 car without issue is something the breaker will need to verify against your registration. Mention both model years and your trim level when requesting a quote to give the breaker the best chance of finding a matching part.
