Used Volkswagen Passat Bonnet

The B8 Passat was introduced in 2014 and covers cars built from then through to the current generation, so a bonnet from any B8 should be a strong candidate for another B8 car. However, confirm the exact build year with the breaker against your registration, as minor production changes can affect panel fits. Never assume fitment without the breaker checking your specific car's details.

The Passat B7 ran from 2010 to 2014 and received a facelift in 2011 that updated the front-end styling, meaning bonnets from either side of that boundary may differ in profile or shut lines. You should name the exact build year of your car when contacting a breaker and ask them to confirm whether the specific panel crosses the facelift boundary safely. Do not assume a pre-facelift and post-facelift bonnet are interchangeable without the breaker verifying it against your registration.

No — the B6 ran from 2005 to 2010 and the B7 from 2010 to 2014, and while they share a platform the front-end panels were redesigned between generations, so the bonnets are not the same part. Always tell the breaker your full registration so they can match the correct generation to your car.

Trim level makes no difference to bonnet fitment on the Passat — SE, SEL, GT and R-Line all share the same bonnet panel within a given generation and facelift period. You may find cosmetic differences such as badges or any bonnet-mounted trim strips between cars, but the panel itself is the same pressing. Just confirm the generation and build year with the breaker and trim level need not come into the conversation.

Yes — the bonnet is a front-end panel and is shared across saloon and estate body styles within the same Passat generation, as the front-end structure is identical regardless of body length. Confirm the generation and facelift period with the breaker and the body style distinction need not affect your search.

A 2008 Passat falls within the B6 generation, which ran from 2005 to 2010, so ask breakers specifically for a B6 bonnet and give them your full registration to confirm. The B6 received a facelift in 2008, so it is worth confirming with the breaker whether your car is pre- or post-facelift and whether the specific panel they have matches your build date.
