Used Vauxhall Corsa Rear Cross Member

The Corsa has run through several well-established generations in the UK: the B (1993–2000), C (2000–2006), D (2006–2014), and E (2014–2019). The rear cross member is platform-specific, so you must match the generation first — a part from a Corsa D will not cross over to a Corsa C or E. Give your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact platform.

This crosses the D-to-E generation boundary, which changed in 2014, so a 2013 D-generation part and a 2015 E-generation part are from different platforms and are very unlikely to interchange. Name that boundary clearly when contacting a breaker and confirm against your registration before ordering. Never assume a year-close match means a platform match across a known generation change.

For the rear cross member, body style and door count can affect the rear bodyshell structure, so you should match these to your own car where possible. Confirm the door count with the breaker against your registration, as pressing differences between 3-door and 5-door shells on the same platform are exactly the kind of detail they will need to verify. Do not assume all variants within a generation share an identical rear cross member.

Trim level — whether that's Active, SXi, SE, SRi, or VXR — does not affect the fitment of a structural rear cross member, so you do not need to match trim when sourcing this part. You may find cosmetic differences such as varying undercoating or bracket provisions for different exhaust or tow-point setups, but the core cross member itself is not trim-dependent. Focus on matching generation, body style, and door count instead.

The Corsa D ran from 2006 to 2014 as a single named generation, but mid-generation pressing changes are possible and cannot be ruled out without checking. Whether an early Corsa D rear cross member is identical to a late one is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations rather than assume. Quote both years clearly when asking for a quote so the breaker can cross-reference their stock.

The Corsa-based van (sold in the UK as the Combo in earlier guises, though Corsa panel vans existed) has a different rear body structure from the hatchback, and van-specific factors such as wheelbase and whether the vehicle has barn doors or a tailgate affect the rear end significantly. A van rear cross member should not be assumed to fit a hatchback without explicit confirmation from the breaker. Always specify your body style clearly when requesting a quote.
