Vauxhall Mokka Curtain Airbag Replacement Parts

Yes, curtain airbags (also called roof-rail or side-curtain airbags) were fitted to the Vauxhall Mokka as standard across the range, deploying from the headlining above the side windows to protect front and rear occupants in a side impact. They are a genuine part on this model, so you can search for them with confidence. If you are unsure whether your car has them, check your owner's manual or look for airbag badging on the B-pillar trim.

The original Mokka (Mk1) ran from 2012 to 2016, then the facelifted Mokka X ran from 2016 to 2019 — both sit within the same first generation, sharing the same basic body shell. Because of this shared structure, a 2014 curtain airbag and a 2017 unit may well be compatible, but the facelift brought some interior and trim updates, so you should confirm with the breaker that the specific airbag module matches your car's SRS system using your registration before buying.

No — the second-generation Mokka B launched in 2021 is an entirely new platform and body, so its curtain airbags are not interchangeable with those from the first-generation Mokka or Mokka X (2012–2019). Always make sure the breaker confirms the part is from the same generation as your vehicle by checking against your registration.

For curtain airbags, the trim level (SE, Active, Design, Elite, etc.) does not generally alter the airbag itself, as fitment is determined by the body shell and generation rather than the trim grade. However, the headlining colour or finish covering the airbag may differ between trims, so a used unit from a different trim may look slightly different once installed. Confirm the generation and model year with the breaker against your registration to be safe.

Yes, this matters — the nearside (NS) curtain airbag fits the passenger side and the offside (OS) fits the driver's side, and they are not interchangeable. When contacting a breaker, always specify NS or OS clearly alongside the model year and generation so they can supply the correct unit.

Curtain airbags are safety-critical components and should always be professionally fitted by a qualified technician with the appropriate SRS diagnostic equipment to ensure the system arms correctly. A used curtain airbag is also a single-use part — once deployed it cannot be reused — so it is essential the replacement unit has never been triggered. Attempting DIY installation risks the airbag failing to deploy in a collision or deploying unexpectedly during fitting, so this is one job to leave to a professional.
