Second Hand Vauxhall Insignia Window Winder Motor

The Insignia ran in two generations: the Mk1 from 2008 to 2017 (facelift in 2013) and the Mk2 (also called the B) from 2017 onwards. Motors from within the same generation are generally the most likely to swap over, but whether a pre-facelift Mk1 motor crosses cleanly to a post-2013 facelift car is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration. Never assume a Mk2 part will fit a Mk1 or vice versa.

For the front doors, the hatchback and Sports Tourer share the same door structure, so the motor itself should be the same side-for-side within the same generation. The rear doors differ in shape between body styles, so always specify hatchback or Sports Tourer when asking about rear motors. Confirm the body style with your breaker to be sure.

Trim level — whether Design, SRi, Elite, or others — does not affect window winder motor fitment; the door shell and motor mounting are the same across trims within a generation. You may find cosmetic differences in how the door card looks when you reassemble, but the motor itself is not trim-specific. What does matter is generation, door position, and which side (NS nearside passenger or OS offside driver) you need.

The Mk1 Insignia ran from 2008 to 2017 with a facelift arriving in 2013, so a 2014 car is a post-facelift Mk1. The door architecture did not change dramatically at the facelift, but whether the motor bracket and connector position are identical is something you should confirm with your breaker by checking both registrations. Quoting both the donor and recipient reg to the breaker is the safest approach.

In UK convention, NS (nearside) is the left-hand side of the car as seen from the driver's seat — that is the front passenger door on a right-hand-drive Insignia. OS (offside) is the driver's side, on the right. Always specify NS or OS when requesting a quote, as the motors are handed and a wrong-side part will not fit your door.

Both 2010 and 2015 fall within the Mk1 generation (2008–2017), though the 2010 is pre-facelift and the 2015 is post-facelift (facelift from 2013). The generation is the same, which is encouraging, but because the facelift boundary sits between those two years you should confirm with the breaker that the connector and fixing points match before buying. Always provide both registrations to your breaker so they can cross-reference the part numbers.
