Second Hand Nissan X-Trail Door Card

The Nissan X-Trail changed generation between those years: the T30 ran from 2001 to 2007, and the T31 ran from 2007 to 2014, so a 2007 car could be either generation depending on exactly when it was built. Door cards are not interchangeable across generations as the door shell, trim fixings and overall shape differ, so you need to match the generation (T30 or T31) precisely. Confirm the exact build year and generation of both vehicles with the breaker before ordering.

Yes, side matters significantly — a nearside (NS, passenger/left) door card will not fit an offside (OS, driver/right) door and vice versa. Always specify NS or OS when requesting a quote from a breaker, using your registration to confirm which side you need. Fitting the wrong side is not possible without modification, so this is not a cosmetic preference.

The T31 X-Trail received a facelift around 2010, and while the basic door structure remained similar, trim panel fixings and interior detailing can differ across that boundary. We would not assume pre- and post-facelift T31 door cards interchange directly, even though they share the same generation name. Confirm against your registration with the breaker to be sure the panel matches your specific build date.

The generation and door side are the primary fitment factors; trim level does not change the fundamental shape or fixing points of the door card. However, you should expect cosmetic differences between grades — a Tekna card may have different fabric, stitching, switch blanks or finishes compared to a Visia or Acenta unit, and a used card from a different trim will look noticeably different. Colour and finish can often be adapted, but check with the breaker whether any feature variants on your specific car (such as speaker grilles or electric window switch clusters) match the sourced card.

No — engine choice and whether the vehicle is two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive do not affect door card fitment on the X-Trail. The door card is determined by the generation (T30 or T31), the door side (NS or OS), and your build date relative to any facelift. You can safely ignore engine and drivetrain details when sourcing this part.

A 2013 car sits in the post-facelift T31 period, so you should prioritise sourcing a card from another post-facelift T31 to maximise the chance of matching trim fixings and detail fitment. Cards from earlier T31 cars (pre-2010 facelift) may share the same basic door structure but could differ in panel details, so we cannot confirm these interchange without the breaker checking against both registrations. Always confirm NS or OS side at the same time.
