No two central locking motors are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
The Astra has run through several distinct generations: Mk3 (F, 1991–1998), Mk4 (G, 1998–2004), Mk5 (H, 2004–2010), Mk6 (J, 2010–2015), and Mk7 (K, 2015–2022). Central locking motors are generation-specific, so always match the part to the correct generation for your car. Give your exact registration to the breaker so they can confirm the right unit.
This is an important boundary to flag: the Astra J ran until 2015 and the Astra K launched in 2015, so a 2014 car will be an Astra J but a 2015 car could be either generation depending on its build date. The central locking motors for the J and K are not the same, so you cannot assume a 2014 unit will cross over. Give both registrations to the breaker and ask them to check the actual generation of each vehicle before buying.
Trim level does not affect which central locking motor is fitted — the mechanism is the same across trims such as Expression, SE, SRi, and Elite within the same generation. The only thing to be aware of is that some higher trims may have additional features like deadlocking that interact with the system, but the motor unit itself should interchange within the same generation. Confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
Not necessarily — front and rear door motors can differ from each other, and the tailgate or boot may use a different actuator again. When contacting a breaker, specify which door position you need: nearside front, offside front, nearside rear, offside rear, or boot. This will help them pull the correct unit from the donor vehicle.
The Astra H received a facelift around 2007, but the central locking motor itself is generally not affected by facelift changes as it is a functional mechanical component rather than a body or trim part. That said, minor running changes can occur across a production run, so confirm with the breaker using your exact registration rather than assuming any Astra H motor will do.
Vauxhall used shared platforms across models — for example, the Astra G, Zafira A, and some Vectra B components overlap in places — so cross-model compatibility is possible in some cases, but it is not guaranteed. Door actuator dimensions and connector types can differ even between related models. Ask your breaker to compare the part numbers or physically confirm compatibility against your registration before you commit.
