Fitment on a used heater motor varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The Vivaro has three main generations: the original Mk1 (2001–2014), the Mk2 (2014–2019), and the Mk3 (2019 onwards). Generation matters a great deal for heater motor fitment, as the heater box assembly changed significantly between each, so you should always tell the breaker which generation yours is from before ordering.
These two vans sit either side of the Mk1-to-Mk2 generational change in 2014, so they are unlikely to share the same heater motor. The heater box and blower motor unit were redesigned for the Mk2, meaning a direct swap across that boundary is not straightforward. Confirm with the breaker using your registration before purchasing.
Trim level does not affect heater motor fitment on the Vivaro — the blower motor is part of the HVAC system, not a trim-specific component. Whether your van is a basic fleet-spec model, a Sportive, or a Sport, the heater motor within the same generation should be the same unit. Do be aware that vans specced with air conditioning may use a different or additional motor to non-air-con variants, so mention to the breaker whether your van has climate or air conditioning fitted.
For the heater motor itself, body style generally does not affect fitment within the same generation, as the HVAC unit sits in the dashboard area which is shared across variants. The main factors to check are generation and whether the van has air conditioning, not the body style. Always confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
The Vivaro Mk1 and Mk2 were built on a shared platform with the Renault Trafic and Nissan Primastar, so there is a reasonable chance the heater motor is interchangeable across those three vans within the same generation. However, this is not guaranteed as there can be differences depending on specification, so ask the breaker to confirm compatibility against both registrations before buying.
If your fan is not working at all or only works on certain speed settings, the heater motor or its resistor pack is a likely culprit and used examples are commonly available from breakers given how many Vivaros are dismantled in the UK. When requesting quotes on Findapart, give your registration and specify whether your van has air conditioning, as this can affect which motor is needed. A breaker can then match the correct unit from a donor van of the same generation.
