Cheap Volkswagen Up Rear View Mirror

The Volkswagen Up had a facelift in 2016, so a mirror from a pre-facelift car (2012–2015) may differ in shape, fixing points, or finish compared to a post-facelift model (2016 onwards). Whether a pre-facelift mirror crosses that boundary and fits your car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration. Always check before buying a used part.

Yes, the generation matters — the Up was updated with a facelift in 2016, and interior trim parts including the rear view mirror can differ between pre-facelift and post-facelift cars. Give the breaker your exact registration so they can match the correct mirror to your specific car. Quoting the year alone is not always enough.

The rear view mirror itself is largely consistent across Up trim levels such as Take Up, Move Up, High Up, and Up GTI, though higher trims may have an auto-dimming mirror or a mirror with an integrated compass or light sensor that lower trims lack. If your car has a standard manual-dip mirror, a plain mirror from any trim should be compatible, but if you want a like-for-like replacement with the same features, make sure the donor car had the same specification. Confirm the exact mirror type with the breaker before purchasing.

No — the engine makes no difference to rear view mirror fitment on the Volkswagen Up, so whether your car has a 1.0 petrol, CNG, or electric e-Up powertrain, the mirror fitment is determined by generation and trim level rather than what is under the bonnet. Focus your search on finding a mirror from the correct generation and equivalent trim specification instead.

Both the 2017 and 2019 Up fall within the post-facelift generation (2016 onwards), so the mirror is likely to be compatible, but fitment can still depend on whether both cars share the same trim level and mirror specification — for example, whether both have auto-dimming or neither does. Confirm with the breaker using your registration to make sure the donor mirror matches yours exactly. Never assume fitment without checking.

The Volkswagen Up was offered in both 3-door and 5-door body styles, but the interior rear view mirror is the same regardless of door count, as it is mounted centrally on the windscreen and unrelated to body style. The fitment factors that matter are generation (pre- or post-facelift 2016) and trim level, particularly whether the mirror has any additional features such as auto-dimming. Confirm the specification matches your car with the breaker before buying.
