Those details are deliberately not guessed.
| Vehicle / Configuration | Year | Current Verification Status | Buying Instruction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vauxhall Astra J / Mk6 | 2010 donor marking | MODEL FAMILY IDENTIFIED – FITMENT STILL REQUIRES CHECK | Send VIN and compare the original buckle/reference number and mounting geometry before ordering. |
| Astra J 5-door Hatchback | Exact range not confirmed | VIN / PART-NUMBER CHECK REQUIRED | Do not assume that every Astra J hatch uses this buckle. |
| Astra J Sports Tourer / Estate | Exact range not confirmed | NOT CONFIRMED FROM THIS ITEM | Match VIN and original buckle before ordering. |
| Astra J GTC / 3-door | Not confirmed | NO COMPATIBILITY CLAIM MADE | Do not order on “Astra J” wording alone. |
| Astra H / previous generation | Not confirmed | NO COMPATIBILITY CLAIM MADE | Treat as incompatible unless an exact manufacturer reference-number cross-check proves otherwise. |
| Astra K / later generation | Not confirmed | NO COMPATIBILITY CLAIM MADE | Treat as incompatible unless an exact manufacturer reference-number cross-check proves otherwise. |
| Other Vauxhall / Opel models | Not confirmed | NO CROSS-VEHICLE FITMENT CONFIRMED | A similar appearance is not sufficient evidence. |
Where Is This Part Fitted?
This item is identified as the rear-left / NSR passenger seat-belt buckle receiver. It sits at the rear seating position and accepts the metal tongue attached to the passenger's belt.
★ THIS POSITION
Diagram is a position guide only and is not a vehicle-body-style fitment claim.
What The Buckle Does
Primary Function
The buckle receiver locks the seat-belt tongue into the restraint system and releases it when the red release button is pressed. Correct mounting geometry and correct engagement with the vehicle's belt tongue are essential.
Electrical Function
No obvious external electrical plug is visible on the supplied photographs. Some vehicle configurations can use buckle-status switches for seat-belt warning logic, so do not assume electrical compatibility without matching your original unit.
Visible Construction
Visible components include a formed/stamped metal mounting bracket and stalk with a moulded polymer buckle housing. Exact steel grade, polymer grade and internal component specification are not available from the listing photographs.
Condition
Used component. Please inspect all supplied photographs for cosmetic condition. Any seat-belt component showing deformation, serious corrosion, cracked housing or abnormal latch operation should not be installed.
Common Symptoms Of A Faulty Seat-Belt Buckle
⚠ Latching Problems
Belt tongue will not positively click into place, repeatedly rejects the tongue, or requires excessive force to latch.
⚠ Release Problems
Red release button sticks, does not return normally or the tongue is difficult to release.
⚠ Physical Damage
Cracked housing, bent stalk, loose mounting point, serious corrosion or visible impact damage.
⚠ Warning-System Symptoms
On switch-equipped versions, an incorrect buckle status can contribute to seat-belt warning problems. This particular item's electrical specification has not been established from the photographs.
Why Choose A Manufacturer-Original Used Part?
Where the exact manufacturer reference and VIN match, a manufacturer-original used component retains the mounting geometry, dimensions and latch design engineered for its original application. Cheap pattern replacements can vary between manufacturers, so price alone should never be used to decide which safety-restraint component to fit.
✓ Original Geometry
Correct bracket profile, stalk length, mounting location and buckle interface are important to straightforward fitment.
✓ Better Value
Buying used can cost substantially less than buying the equivalent replacement new. On selected parts, savings can be as much as 70%; actual savings vary by part and market price.
✓ Reduced Waste
Reusing a serviceable component keeps an existing vehicle part in circulation rather than immediately consuming materials and energy to manufacture another replacement.
✓ Fitment Support
Unsure? Contact ThePartPilot through eBay Messages before ordering and provide the VIN plus photographs/reference number from the old component.
Fitting Guide
Recommended Tools
General Replacement Sequence
-
Verify the replacement first.
Compare the VIN/reference number where available, mounting eye, locating feature, stalk length, bends, buckle opening and any electrical connection with the part being removed. -
Make the vehicle safe.
Park securely, switch the ignition off and keep the key away from the vehicle. If any restraint-system electrical connection is involved, follow the manufacturer's exact depowering procedure. -
Gain access.
Carefully remove or reposition the rear seat base/trim only as required to expose the buckle mounting point. -
Record the original orientation.
Photograph the original buckle, bracket direction and routing before undoing the fastener. This provides a useful installation reference. -
Remove the original component.
Use the correctly fitting socket or bit and avoid damaging the mounting bolt or surrounding trim. -
Compare both components side by side.
If the mounting profile, stalk length, buckle body, locating tab, connector or tongue interface differs, stop and re-check fitment. -
Install in the original orientation.
Seat the mounting point correctly and ensure the buckle/stalk is not trapped, twisted or contacting anything that prevents normal movement. -
Torque correctly.
Tighten the restraint fastener to the vehicle manufacturer's workshop specification for the exact VIN. Do not guess the torque value. -
Reassemble and test.
Refit trim/seat components correctly. Confirm the seat-belt tongue positively latches, remains retained under a firm pull and releases normally when the button is pressed. -
Check warning functions where applicable.
If the vehicle uses an electrical buckle-status circuit, confirm normal operation before the seating position is returned to service.
