Used door hinges 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 Meriva ran in two distinct generations: the original Meriva A (2003–2010) and the Meriva B (2010–2017), and hinges from one generation will not fit the other as the door and body structures are completely different. Within each generation fitment is generally consistent, but if your car sits close to the 2010 changeover you should confirm the exact generation against your registration with the breaker before ordering.
Yes, side is critical — NS (nearside, passenger/left) and OS (offside, driver/right) hinges are mirror images of each other and are not interchangeable. Always specify NS or OS when requesting a quote from a breaker, and double-check by matching it against your registration plate details.
Both 2006 and 2009 fall within the Meriva A generation (2003–2010), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but you should confirm against your exact registration with the breaker as minor running changes can affect hinge profiles. Make sure you also match the correct side (NS or OS) when requesting the part.
Trim level does not affect door hinge fitment on the Meriva — the hinge is part of the body structure, not the trim specification, so a hinge from a base Life model will fit a Design in the same generation provided the side matches. You may find cosmetic differences such as paint colour on the hinge, but that is a finishing matter rather than a fitment one and can be resprayed.
No, engine choice has no bearing on door hinge fitment — the hinge is determined by the generation (Meriva A or Meriva B) and the side (NS or OS), not by whether the car is a 1.4 petrol or a 1.3 CDTi diesel. Focus on matching generation and side, and confirm with the breaker using your registration.
2010 is the changeover year between the Meriva A and Meriva B, so a 2011 car is almost certainly a Meriva B, but a 2010 car could be either generation depending on its build date. Name the exact generation to the breaker and ask them to cross-reference against your registration before buying, as fitting a Meriva A hinge to a Meriva B body or vice versa will not work.
