Yes, the year matters because the Astra has gone through several distinct generations, and glove boxes are interior parts that are generation-specific: the Mk4 (G) ran from 1998 to 2004, the Mk5 (H) from 2004 to 2010, the Mk6 (J) from 2010 to 2015, and the Mk7 (K) from 2015 to 2022. A glove box from within the same generation should broadly correspond, but confirm the exact part with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
Almost certainly not without modification – a 2009 Astra is a Mk5 (H, 2004–2010) while a 2011 Astra is a Mk6 (J, 2010–2015), so they are different generations with different interior designs and dash architecture. Always tell the breaker your registration so they can confirm whether the part from their vehicle matches yours.
Trim level can make a difference to the Astra's glove box, as higher-spec trims like SRi or Elite may have a glove box with a different finish, illumination, or locking mechanism compared to entry-level trims such as SE or Design. The basic fitment to the dashboard carcass is generation-driven, but you may notice cosmetic differences if you mix trims; confirm the trim of the donor car with the breaker so you know what to expect.
No – the engine is irrelevant when it comes to the glove box, as it is a purely interior, dashboard-mounted part that is the same regardless of whether the donor car was a petrol, diesel, or any other engine variant. Focus on matching the generation and trim level instead.
The door count does not affect the glove box itself, as it sits in the dashboard on the passenger side and is shared across body styles within the same generation and trim. You do not need to worry about whether the donor car was a 3-door or 5-door hatchback when sourcing this part.
The Astra J ran from 2010 to 2015 with a facelift introduced in 2012, and while the interior was largely carried over, there can be subtle differences in trim finishes and fittings around the facelift point. Name your registration to the breaker and ask them to confirm the build date of their donor vehicle, as crossing the facelift boundary is something to verify rather than assume.
