Fitment questions
Will a headrest from a T5 Transporter fit my T6?
No — the T5 (2003–2015, with a facelift in 2009) and T6 (2015–2019, facelifted as the T6.1 from 2019) are different generations with different seat designs, so headrests are not interchangeable between them. Stick to the correct generation when asking breakers for a quote. Never guarantee fitment without confirming against your registration.
Does a headrest from a T6 fit a T6.1?
The T6 ran from 2015 and the T6.1 facelift arrived in 2019, and while the two generations share a platform, seat trim and headrest fixings can differ — particularly if the vehicles have different spec levels. Name both the generation and the trim to your breaker, and ask them to confirm compatibility against your registration before buying.
Does the trim level matter when buying a used Transporter headrest?
Yes, it can — Transporter trims such as Startline, Trendline, Comfortline, and Highline can come with different seat styles, which affects the headrest design and fitings. Always tell the breaker which trim your van is, as well as the generation, to avoid ending up with a headrest that looks or fits differently to your original. Seats can also vary between panel van and Kombi/Caravelle body styles, so mention your body type too.
Does it matter whether I need a nearside or offside headrest for my Transporter?
Headrests themselves are typically not handed left or right in the way that some exterior parts are, but the seat they belong to — and any integrated features such as side bolsters — can differ between driver (OS) and passenger (NS) positions depending on spec. Tell your breaker which seating position the headrest is for, especially on higher-spec trims where seat designs may differ across the vehicle. Confirming this with the breaker avoids any mismatch.
Will a T5 facelift headrest from 2009 fit an earlier T5 from 2005?
The T5 facelift in 2009 brought interior and seat revisions, and headrests from pre-facelift (2003–2009) and post-facelift (2009–2015) vans may not be directly interchangeable. You should treat these as potentially different and ask your breaker to confirm compatibility across that 2009 boundary against your specific registration. Do not assume a match without that check.
Does the engine or gearbox affect which headrest I need for my Transporter?
No — engine and transmission choice has no bearing on headrest fitment; what matters is the generation (T5, T6, T6.1), the trim level, and the seating position. This means diesel and petrol or manual and automatic vans of the same generation and trim will use the same headrests. Focus your search on getting the generation and trim right rather than worrying about what's under the bonnet.
