Used Vauxhall Insignia Glove Box

This is an important boundary to flag: the Vauxhall Insignia ran as the first generation (Mk1) from 2008 to 2017, with a facelift arriving in 2013, so a 2010 car is pre-facelift and a 2014 car is post-facelift. The glove box housing and fittings can differ across that facelift boundary due to dashboard revisions, so while both are Mk1 cars you should not assume direct swap compatibility. Confirm with the breaker that the part number or trim reference matches your specific post-facelift 2014 car before purchasing.

The Insignia Mk2 (also known as the Insignia B or Grand Sport/Sports Tourer) ran from 2017 onwards and has a completely redesigned interior compared to the Mk1 (2008–2017), so the glove boxes are not interchangeable between generations. Always make sure the breaker is supplying a part from the same generation as your car, confirmed against your registration.

On the Insignia, trim level can influence the glove box because higher trims such as Elite and SRi may feature a cooled glove box or different internal fittings compared to entry-level trims like SE or Design. The basic shell shape is generally the same within a generation, but you may find cosmetic or functional differences if the sourced part comes from a different trim. Let the breaker know your trim level so they can match accordingly, and check the cooled-box feature if your car has it.

The glove box is a dashboard-mounted interior part and is not affected by whether your Insignia is a hatchback or Sports Tourer, as both body styles share the same dashboard and interior architecture within each generation. You can therefore source a glove box from either body style as long as the generation and trim level match your car.

No — the engine has no bearing on glove box fitment whatsoever, as the glove box is a pure interior part that is the same regardless of whether the donor car had a petrol, diesel, or any other engine variant. Focus instead on matching the generation (Mk1 2008–2017 or Mk2 2017 onwards) and trim level to your own car.

Give the breaker your full registration number and ask them to confirm the generation (Mk1 pre-facelift 2008–2012, Mk1 facelift 2013–2017, or Mk2 2017 onwards) and trim level of the donor car matches yours. If your glove box has a cooling function, specifically confirm that the replacement also has it, as not all trim levels were fitted with this feature. A reputable UK breaker will be able to cross-reference these details before the part is dispatched.
