Used Volkswagen Caddy Door

The Caddy has gone through several distinct generations: the Mk1 ran through the 1980s, the Mk2 covered roughly 1995–2003, the Mk3 ran from 2004–2020 (with a facelift around 2015), and the Mk4 launched in 2020 and is current as of 2025. Knowing your generation is the single most important factor when sourcing a replacement door, as doors are not interchangeable across generations. Check your V5C or confirm with the breaker using your registration if you are unsure which generation you have.

This is a boundary question worth taking care over: the Mk3 Caddy received a facelift in 2015, and door panel styling changed at that point. Both a 2014 and a 2016 car sit within the broader Mk3 generation, but whether the pre-facelift door crosses directly onto a post-facelift shell is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations, as shut-line pressings and aperture details can differ across a facelift refresh. Always quote both registrations to your breaker so they can verify against their stock.

The Caddy Maxi is the long-wheelbase version of the van, and for sliding side doors this matters significantly because the longer body uses a larger sliding door aperture — a standard-wheelbase sliding door will not fit a Maxi correctly. For the front hinged doors on either wheelbase, the side (NS or OS) and generation are what matter, not the trim name or spec level. Always tell your breaker both the wheelbase and which door position you need.

Yes, the body style matters for side doors because the van version uses a sliding rear side door while the Caddy Life passenger variant uses conventional hinged rear doors, so these are not interchangeable. Front doors are more likely to be shared between the van and Life on the same generation, but you should still confirm with the breaker using your registration to be certain the aperture and frame profile match. Always specify NS (nearside, passenger side) or OS (offside, driver side) whichever you order.

Colour does not affect whether a door will fit — the frame, hinges, and aperture are identical regardless of the painted finish, so a door in any colour can be fitted to your van or car. You will almost certainly need a respray to match your vehicle, which is normal practice with second-hand doors and any good bodyshop can do this. Focus your search on getting the correct generation, side (NS or OS), and body style rather than worrying about finding a colour match.

No, the sliding door from a standard-wheelbase Caddy van will not correctly fit a Caddy Maxi because the Maxi's longer body has a wider rear aperture designed for a larger sliding door. You must source a sliding door specifically from another Caddy Maxi of the same generation to get the right fit. Tell your breaker you need a Maxi sliding door, confirm the generation and side (NS or OS), and give them your registration so they can match it accurately.
