Used drive shafts 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 ID.5 launched in the UK in 2022 and has remained within its first generation through to the current model year, so a 2022 unit and a 2024 unit share the same basic platform and motor architecture. That said, there can be mid-production ancillary and mounting changes within a generation, so confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.
The ID.5 and ID.4 share Volkswagen's MEB platform and the same electric motor codes, so the drivetrain fundamentals are very closely related. In practice many running-gear components do cross over, but body and subframe geometry can introduce differences, so ask the breaker to check your specific motor code and registration rather than assuming a straight swap.
The motor or engine code is the single most useful piece of information — you'll find it on your V5C or via a VIN check — along with whether your car is rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (AWD models have an additional front drive shaft), and the near-side (NS) or off-side (OS) you need. Year of manufacture helps the breaker narrow stock down further, but the motor code and drivetrain configuration matter above everything else.
Trim level does not affect drive shaft fitment on the ID.5; what matters is the motor code and whether the car is RWD or AWD, not whether it is a standard, Pro, or Pro S variant. You may receive a shaft that looks cosmetically different in its boot or gaiter colour depending on where it was sourced, but the mechanical specification follows the drivetrain, not the badge.
The ID.5 is a relatively new model and no widely confirmed facelift with a hard model-year cut-off has been established for the UK market at the time of writing, so we won't quote a boundary that isn't certain. What you should do is give the breaker your full registration and motor code so they can verify whether any mid-production running changes affect the shaft you're ordering.
No — RWD ID.5 models use a single rear motor and have no front drive shafts at all, while AWD variants add a front motor with its own pair of front shafts, and the rear shafts may differ in specification to suit the dual-motor setup. Always tell the breaker your exact drivetrain configuration (RWD or AWD) alongside the motor code to ensure you're matched to the correct shaft.
