Used rear panels 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 Crafter runs across two clear generations: the first-generation (MAN-built, based on the Mercedes Sprinter platform) covered 2006 to 2016, and the second-generation (VW's own MQB-based platform) launched in 2017 and continues to the present day. These two generations are completely different structures, so a rear panel from a first-gen Crafter will not fit a second-gen and vice versa. Always confirm the generation with the breaker using your registration before ordering.
No – 2015 falls within the first generation (2006–2016) and 2018 sits in the second generation (2017-onwards), and the two generations use entirely different bodyshells and rear structures. This is a firm platform boundary, not a minor pressing change, so the panels are not interchangeable. Quote the breaker your exact registration so they can confirm the correct generation and supply the right part.
Yes, both matter significantly on a van like the Crafter. The rear panel pressed for a short-wheelbase body will differ from that of a medium or long-wheelbase variant, and high-roof versions carry a taller rear pressing than standard-roof models. Make sure you tell the breaker your exact wheelbase and roof height – ideally confirmed from your V5C or registration – so they match the correct pressing.
Yes, this is one of the most important fitment points on any van rear panel. A barn-door Crafter has a different lower rear aperture and hinge reinforcements compared with a tailgate model, so the pressings are not interchangeable. Confirm your door arrangement with the breaker when requesting a quote.
Trim level does not affect rear panel fitment on the Crafter – the bodyshell pressing is the same regardless of whether the van is a Trendline, Comfortline, or Highline. You may find cosmetic differences such as whether the donor van had trim strips, a reversing camera aperture, or different finishes, so check these details with the breaker to avoid extra work. What drives fitment is generation, wheelbase, roof height, and door configuration, not trim grade.
Mid-generation pressing changes are possible on long-running vans like the Crafter but are not something we can state as fact here. If you are sourcing a used panel from a vehicle at the very start or end of a generation's production run, confirm with the breaker that the pressing matches your specific vehicle's registration – they can check against their stock directly.
