Vehicle parts — reg-based fitment
Enter a UK registration and only parts confirmed to fit that vehicle are returned. OEM, OEM-equivalent, quality aftermarket and reclaimed, side by side.
Wrong-part returns are the single largest source of friction in independent vehicle repair. The brands in this hub address it the same way: the reg lookup returns the vehicle's chassis and engine code from DVLA, and only parts matched against the OEM catalogue for that exact combination are shown.
Spare Car Part, Any Vehicle Parts and Spare Vehicle Parts each cover different cuts of the market — single-vehicle private buyers, multi-vehicle workshops and the wider any-vehicle audience including bikes and HGVs. All three show the same line item in up to four versions: OEM, OEM-equivalent, quality aftermarket and reclaimed from UK Authorised Treatment Facilities. The trade-off between price and warranty is laid out for each.
For older vehicles where OEM stock is discontinued, reclaimed via the UK breakers network is often the only realistic route to a like-for-like repair.

/ Common questions
- Why does the reg lookup sometimes get it wrong?
- Where a previous owner has fitted a non-standard engine or gearbox, the reg lookup can't see that — it returns DVLA's recorded chassis and engine code. Supply the actual part number from the failed component if there's any doubt.
- What if it doesn't fit?
- If the part doesn't fit the vehicle the registration identified, return shipping is paid by the supplier and a refund is processed within 5 working days. Reclaimed parts are subject to the breaker's policy, shown at purchase.
- What's the difference between OEM and OEM-equivalent?
- OEM is manufacturer-branded, made for the manufacturer's own parts department. OEM-equivalent is made in the same factory under a different brand — typically the same physical part at a lower price. Quality aftermarket is an independent manufacturer to OE standards.
- How does reg-based fitment work?
- The registration returns the vehicle's chassis and engine code from DVLA. The parts shown are matched against the OEM catalogue for that exact chassis and engine, not against an aftermarket compatibility list. Substantially fewer wrong-part returns as a result.
- How fast is delivery?
- Next-working-day on the majority of UK-stocked lines. Longer leads are flagged at the cart stage rather than discovered after order.
