Used suspension legs 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 Vivaro ran in two main generations: the first generation covered roughly 2001 to 2014, and the second generation ran from 2014 onwards, so a leg from the first generation is very unlikely to fit a second-generation van as the platforms differ significantly. Even within the same generation there can be variation, so always confirm with the breaker using your full registration before buying.
On a van like the Vivaro, the GVW or payload rating shown on the vehicle's plate can affect the suspension specification, as higher-rated vans may use heavier-duty components to cope with greater loads. Engine size can also play a role where heavier engines influence front suspension loading. Always check the plate on your van and give that information to the breaker rather than relying on the model name alone.
Yes, suspension legs are side-specific - the nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) are not interchangeable, so make sure you know which side you need before requesting a quote. Double-check by looking at the van from the front to confirm which corner has the faulty leg.
Trim level on its own does not determine suspension leg fitment on the Vivaro - what matters is the generation, payload rating, and engine size rather than whether the van is badged as a Sportive or a standard variant. That said, if you have any reason to think your van has been fitted with non-standard or uprated suspension, confirm this with the breaker before ordering.
2014 sits right on the boundary between the first generation (2001-2014) and the second generation (2014 onwards), so a 2014 van could be either, depending on exactly when it was built and registered. This matters because the two generations use different suspension components, so you should confirm which generation your van is with the breaker using your registration number before they source a part.
The vast majority of Vivaros sold in the UK were diesel, but where engine variants exist the weight and size differences between engines can in principle affect front suspension specification. In practice the key variables to confirm are the generation and payload rating rather than petrol versus diesel, but give the breaker your full registration so they can verify the exact spec required rather than assuming a direct swap.
