Fitment on a used rear view mirror varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The Insignia Mk1 ran from 2008 to 2017, with a facelift in 2013, so a 2012 mirror and a 2015 mirror are from different phases of the same generation. Interior mirrors often share the same mounting point across the Mk1 facelift boundary, but whether the specific mirror — particularly if it carries features like auto-dimming or a camera — crosses over cleanly is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Yes, generation is the most important factor. The Insignia Mk1 ran from 2008 to 2017 and the Mk2 (also sold as the Grand Sport or Sports Tourer) from 2017 onwards, and the two are not interchangeable as the windscreen mounting boss and wiring differ. Always tell the breaker which generation you have, ideally confirmed by your registration plate.
It can do, because higher Insignia trims such as Elite and SRi may have auto-dimming mirrors or integrated cameras, while entry trims like Design or SE typically have a plain manual mirror. The mounting point is generally the same across trims, but if your original mirror had additional functions you will want to match those features — check with the breaker what extras the donor mirror has and whether they match your car's wiring.
Interior rear view mirrors mount to the windscreen rather than to the body, and the windscreen profile is broadly similar between the Insignia hatchback and Sports Tourer, so the mirror itself is generally interchangeable. However, if the mirror incorporates a rear camera view, the estate and hatchback may have different rear glass angles affecting the image, so confirm this with the breaker if your mirror has that feature.
An interior rear view mirror is a single centrally mounted unit, so nearside and offside do not apply here — there is only one, fitted at the top centre of the windscreen. If you are thinking of door mirrors, those are a separate part and NS (nearside, driver's left) and OS (offside, driver's right) do matter, so make sure you are ordering the correct part.
A plain interior mirror with a simple click-on windscreen button is a straightforward swap that most owners can manage at home. If the mirror has auto-dimming, a rain sensor, or a camera, there will be a wiring connector involved and it is worth checking the plug matches before you buy; fitting is still generally DIY-friendly but may need a short wiring check to confirm it powers up correctly.
