Second Hand Volkswagen Caddy Glove Box

The Caddy has gone through distinct generations — the Mk3 ran from 2004 to 2015 (with a facelift around 2010), and the Mk4 ran from 2015 to 2020, followed by the Mk5 from 2020 onwards — and glove boxes are generally generation-specific, so a box from the same generation as your van should be the correct starting point. Crossing a generation boundary, for example using a pre-2015 Mk3 box in a post-2015 Mk4, is very unlikely to fit due to different dashboard architecture. Confirm the exact generation match with the breaker against your registration before buying.

This question crosses the Mk3-to-Mk4 boundary — the Mk3 ran up to 2015 and the Mk4 began in 2015 — and in practice the dashboard and interior changed significantly between these generations, making a straight swap unlikely. A 2014 box is Mk3, while a 2016 box is Mk4, so they are almost certainly not interchangeable. Check with the breaker against both registrations to be sure.

For most Caddy variants the glove box itself is the same unit across trim levels within the same generation, though higher trims may have glove boxes with slightly different finishes, lighting, or cooling features depending on specification. If your Caddy has a cooled glove box as part of its trim, make sure the replacement matches that feature. Ask the breaker to confirm the specification of their part against your registration to avoid cosmetic or functional mismatches.

No — the engine makes no difference to glove box fitment, as it is a purely interior component unrelated to the drivetrain. Focus on matching the generation and trim specification rather than engine size or fuel type. Any breaker should be able to confirm this, but engine details are not something you need to supply when searching for this part.

The Caddy Life (the passenger-carrying version) and the Caddy Maxi (the longer-wheelbase variant) share the same basic dashboard structure as the standard Caddy within the same generation, so the glove box is generally the same unit. However, certain specification differences between van and passenger variants can affect interior trim details, so it is worth confirming with the breaker against your specific registration. Do not assume a direct swap without that check.

Findapart lets you request quotes from UK vehicle dismantlers (breakers) who specialise in used Caddy parts, and many will have generation-specific interior parts in stock. When you make your request, include your registration number so breakers can confirm the correct generation, trim, and specification for your van. Buying used from a breaker is a cost-effective option and most reputable breakers will be able to advise on fitment before you commit.
