Cheap Vauxhall Vectra Rear View Mirror

The Vauxhall Vectra ran across two main UK generations — the Vectra B (1995–2002) and the Vectra C (2002–2008, with a facelift around 2005) — and interior mirrors are not interchangeable between these generations as the windscreen fixing points and trim interfaces differ. Within the Vectra C, a pre-facelift mirror may or may not swap directly with a post-facelift (2005 onwards) item depending on whether your car has auto-dimming or a built-in display, so confirm the exact specification with the breaker against your registration before buying.

Trim level can matter on the Vectra because higher specifications such as CDX or Elite sometimes came with auto-dimming interior mirrors or mirrors with an integrated display, while lower trims like LS or Club typically had a plain manual mirror. The physical fixing to the windscreen is generally the same across trims within a generation, but if you source a mirror from a different trim to your own you may get a different finish or lack a feature you expect, so check what spec the donor car carried when speaking to the breaker.

Both years sit firmly within the Vectra B generation (1995–2002), so in principle the interior mirror should be compatible, but minor running changes during a model's life can affect fitment and the breaker will be best placed to confirm using your registration. There are no known major mid-cycle changes to the Vectra B interior mirror mount, but always verify before purchasing a used part.

The Vectra C facelift arrived in 2005, and while the basic mirror bracket is broadly similar across the generation, there can be differences in the wiring connector if one mirror has auto-dimming or a compass display and the other does not. Name the boundary confidently — pre-2005 and post-2005 Vectra C — and then confirm with the breaker whether the specific donor mirror matches your car's setup before you commit to buying.

The interior rear view mirror on the Vectra C is mounted to the windscreen and is not fundamentally different between body styles — saloon, hatchback (sports tourer), or estate — within the same generation and specification. The main things to match are generation, trim specification (plain versus auto-dimming), and any integrated features, rather than body style, but always ask the breaker to cross-reference against your registration to be certain.

Used Vauxhall Vectra interior mirrors are regularly available from UK vehicle dismantlers (breakers) through a marketplace like Findapart, where you can get quotes from multiple breakers at once. When contacting breakers, have your registration to hand and let them know your generation (Vectra B or Vectra C), the year of your car, and whether your current mirror has any features such as auto-dimming, as this will help them locate the correct part quickly.
