Second Hand Vauxhall Vivaro Centre Console

The Vauxhall Vivaro is a panel van and minibus that typically features a full-width bench or individual front seats rather than a traditional car-style centre console, so a conventional raised centre console is not a standard fitment across the range. Some variants with individual captain-style front seats do have a floor-mounted console or armrest unit between the seats, so it depends heavily on the specific trim and seat configuration your van was built with. Check your existing interior to confirm whether a console unit is present before searching, and when requesting quotes, give breakers your full registration so they can match the exact seat and interior layout.

The Vivaro ran as a first generation (approximately 2001–2014) and a second generation (approximately 2014–2019), with these being substantially different vehicles built on different platforms, so interior parts including any console or armrest unit are not interchangeable between those two generations. If your van is a 2014 or later model, you need parts from a second-generation Vivaro, and a pre-2014 console will not fit. Always confirm the generation with your breaker against your registration to be sure.

Both a 2015 and a 2019 Vivaro fall within the second generation (approximately 2014–2019), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but the Vivaro received updates during this generation and interior trim details can vary between build years. Whether a specific console or armrest unit crosses those mid-generation changes is something to confirm with the breaker using both registrations before buying. Never assume fitment without that check.

Yes, trim level and seat configuration matter significantly here because the Vivaro was available with different front seat arrangements depending on specification — some trims have a bench seat with no console space, while others have individual seats with a floor console or between-seat armrest unit. Common UK Vivaro trims include Edition, Sportive, and Elite, with higher trims more likely to have individual seats and an associated console unit. Tell your breaker your exact trim as well as your registration so they can source a console from a matching interior layout.

Yes, the Vivaro C (third generation) launched in 2019 and represents a completely new model on a different platform to the earlier Vivaro A and Vivaro B, so interior parts from first or second generation vans will not fit a 2019-onwards Vivaro C. If your van is a 2019 or later model, make sure any console or armrest unit your breaker offers is sourced from a matching third-generation van. Confirming against your registration with the breaker is the safest way to ensure the generation matches.

A centre console or between-seat armrest unit sits centrally between the two front seats, so there is generally no nearside or offside distinction for this particular part. What matters more is the generation, seat configuration, and trim level of the donor van matching your own. Confirm the full spec with your breaker against your registration to make sure the unit is a genuine match for your interior.
