Vauxhall Vivaro Wiper Motor Replacement Parts

The Vivaro has run across three clear generations: the first-generation (A) ran from 2001 to 2014, the second-generation (B) ran from 2014 to 2019, and the third-generation (C) launched in 2019 onwards. Generation is the key factor for wiper motor fitment, so always identify which generation your van belongs to before sourcing a used motor. Confirm the exact generation with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

A 2013 Vivaro is a first-generation (A) model, while a 2015 Vivaro is a second-generation (B) model, so these sit either side of the 2014 generation boundary. Whether the wiper motor crosses that boundary and fits is not something that can be confirmed here, so route this question to the breaker with both registrations and they can check the part numbers directly. Never assume cross-generation compatibility without that check.

Yes, front and rear wiper motors are different units and are not interchangeable, so you need to tell the breaker clearly whether you need the front windscreen motor or the rear tailgate motor. Make sure the donor van the breaker is pulling the part from matches both the position (front or rear) and the generation of your Vivaro.

No, trim level does not affect wiper motor fitment on the Vivaro — the motor is determined by generation (A, B, or C) and whether it is the front or rear unit, not by whether the van is a base, Sportive, or Combi trim. You may find minor cosmetic differences in how components are finished or mounted, so check the physical unit looks right before fitting, but trim alone is not a barrier to using a motor from a different spec van of the same generation.

Within the same generation — first-gen (2001–2014), second-gen (2014–2019), or third-gen (2019–present) — there is a strong chance the wiper motor will be compatible, but there can be running changes within a generation that affect the motor or its wiring connector. Always confirm with the breaker by giving them your exact registration so they can match part numbers from the donor vehicle.

The Vivaro, Renault Trafic, and Nissan Primastar were built on a shared platform for the first two generations, and many mechanical and electrical components including wiper motors can cross over between these vans. However, whether a specific used motor from a Trafic or Primastar will be a direct swap for your Vivaro depends on the generation and exact specification, so confirm this with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing.
