Fitment on a used cv joints varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The ID.5 is fully electric, but it absolutely does have CV joints — electric motors still need to transmit torque to the wheels through driveshafts, and those driveshafts use CV joints just as a conventional car does. What the ID.5 does not have is a traditional gearbox, clutch, or combustion drivetrain, but the final drive to each wheel still relies on CV joint-equipped driveshafts. So searching for used CV joints for your ID.5 is perfectly valid.
Almost certainly not interchangeably — the GTX adds a second electric motor on the rear axle, which changes the driveshaft and CV joint arrangement compared to the standard single-motor rear-wheel-drive ID.5. You should tell the breaker whether your car is the standard RWD version or the AWD GTX, as these are mechanically distinct. Never assume fitment across these two drivetrain layouts.
No, trim level does not affect CV joint fitment on the ID.5 — Life, Style, and Max are specification grades covering interior and technology features, not drivetrain differences. What matters is whether your car is the standard rear-wheel-drive model or the GTX four-wheel-drive variant, and which axle the joint is from. Quote your registration and drivetrain to the breaker and the trim name can be ignored for this part.
The ID.5 launched in the UK in 2022 and at the time of writing remains in its first generation without a significant structural facelift that is well-established enough to state as a confirmed fitment boundary. However, Volkswagen has made rolling updates to the MEB platform, so whether a CV joint from a 2022 car crosses directly to a 2024 or 2025 car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assume.
Yes, NS (nearside, left) and OS (offside, right) matters and you must specify this when getting a quote from a breaker. Driveshaft lengths can differ between sides on some MEB-platform vehicles due to the motor and differential positioning, so fitting the wrong side could mean an incorrect length or joint angle. Always confirm the side with the breaker using your registration to be sure.
The ID.4 and ID.5 share the MEB platform and the same powertrain options, so there is a reasonable chance of parts compatibility on the driveshaft and CV joint side — but this is not guaranteed and you should not assume it without checking. The ID.5's coupe-SUV body does not change the underpinnings versus the ID.4, but confirm the motor variant (RWD or AWD) and axle side match before purchasing. Route this cross-model fitment question to the breaker with both registrations for a definitive answer.
