The T5 Transporter ran from 2003 to 2015, with a significant facelift in 2009 that updated much of the interior including the dashboard and glove box surround, so a pre-facelift (2003–2009) glove box and a post-facelift (2009–2015) glove box are not the same part. If your donor vehicle and your van are both pre-facelift or both post-facelift, fitment is more likely, but confirm the exact part number with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
The T6 Transporter (2015–2019) and T6.1 (2019 onwards) use a redesigned dashboard compared to the T5, so the glove box assemblies are not interchangeable across these generations. Stick to a donor vehicle from the same generation as yours, and confirm compatibility with the breaker using your registration.
The Transporter's trim levels — Trendline, Comfortline, and Highline — can affect interior fittings, and the Highline in particular may feature a different glove box or additional elements such as a lockable lid or illumination compared to lower trims. Check with the breaker whether the glove box from your specific trim level matches yours, as fitting a higher-spec unit may leave gaps or missing fixings even if the basic shell physically fits.
For a glove box, the number of doors on your Transporter does not affect compatibility — the glove box is a fixed dashboard component unrelated to door count or body style. Generation and trim level are the key factors, so focus on matching those when speaking to the breaker.
No — the glove box is an interior trim part and is completely unaffected by which engine your Transporter has, whether that's a 1.9 TDI, 2.0 TDI, or any other variant. Match by generation and trim level only, and confirm the part with the breaker against your registration.
This question crosses the 2009 T5 facelift boundary, which brought interior changes including to the dashboard area, so there is a real risk the parts are not directly compatible. Name the model years to the breaker and ask them to check the part numbers against both registrations before you commit to buying.
