Used wiper motors vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Corsa has run through several distinct generations: the Corsa B (1993–2000), Corsa C (2000–2006), Corsa D (2006–2014, with a facelift around 2011), and the Corsa E (2014–2019). Generation is the single most important factor for wiper motor fitment, as the front wiper motor assembly and its mounting changed significantly between each generation. Always tell the breaker your generation as well as your registration to make sure you get the right unit.
These two cars sit in different generations — the 2013 is a Corsa D and the 2015 is a Corsa E — so the front wiper motor is unlikely to be a straight swap. The Corsa D and Corsa E have different bodyshells and wiper linkage assemblies, meaning the mounting and connector are not the same. Confirm with the breaker against both registrations before buying.
Yes — front and rear wiper motors are completely different units and are not interchangeable with each other. The rear wiper motor is mounted in the tailgate and is a much smaller unit than the front motor, which sits in the scuttle panel and drives a linkage assembly. Make sure you tell the breaker clearly which one you need, and give them your registration so they can match the correct part.
Trim level does not affect front wiper motor fitment on the Corsa — a Life, Scape, SE, or SRi from the same generation will all use the same front wiper motor assembly. You may find minor cosmetic differences in how the scuttle trim is finished, but the motor itself is shared across the range within a generation. Focus on matching the generation and front or rear position rather than the trim name.
The Corsa D was facelifted in 2011, and while both sit within the same generation (2006–2014), it is not guaranteed that the wiper motor and linkage assembly are identical across that facelift boundary. Some running changes can affect connectors or mounting points even within a generation. Confirm with the breaker by giving them both the donor vehicle's and your own registration to check compatibility directly.
Engine size has no bearing on wiper motor fitment — the wiper system is part of the bodyshell electrics and is the same regardless of whether the donor car was a 1.2, 1.4, or any other engine variant. What matters is that the donor car is the same generation as yours and that you are matching front to front or rear to rear. Give the breaker your registration and they can confirm the correct unit from their stock.
