Cheap Volkswagen Caddy Wing Mirror

The Caddy has run through several distinct generations: the Mk3 covered roughly 2004 to 2015 (with a facelift around 2010), and the Mk4 ran from 2015 to 2020, followed by the Mk5 from 2021 onwards. Generation is the single most important fitment factor, as mirrors are not interchangeable across these boundaries. When getting a quote from a breaker, confirm your exact year so they can match the right generation to your vehicle.

A 2013 Caddy is Mk3 (pre-facelift or post-2010 facelift) while a 2016 Caddy is Mk4, so these sit either side of the 2015 generation change. Wing mirrors are generation-specific and a direct swap across that boundary is unlikely to work. You should confirm this with the breaker using both registration numbers before purchasing.

Yes, NS (nearside, passenger left) and OS (offside, driver right) mirrors are completely different parts and are not interchangeable. Always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker — on a UK-registered Caddy the OS is the driver's right and the NS is the passenger's left. Ordering the wrong side is one of the most common and easily avoided mistakes.

The rear door arrangement itself does not directly change the wing mirror fitment, but on Caddy vans you should still confirm whether you have a short or long wheelbase, as body differences between these variants can sometimes affect panel and mirror compatibility. The side (NS or OS) and generation remain the primary fitment factors. Let the breaker check against your registration to be certain.

Trim level on its own does not determine which mirror frame physically fits your Caddy — fitment is driven by generation, side, and body configuration rather than trim name. However, higher or lower trims may have had different mirror features such as electric adjustment, heating, folding, or integrated indicators, so a mirror from a different trim may look or function slightly differently. Confirm the feature specification with the breaker against your registration so you know what you're getting before you buy.

Colour is not a fitment consideration at all — the mirror housing can be resprayed to match your Caddy regardless of the colour it arrives in. Focus on getting the correct generation, side (NS or OS), and body style match first, then factor in a respray cost if needed. A good breaker will confirm the frame fits your vehicle; the paint is purely cosmetic.
