Used Mercedes-Benz A-Class Boot Lid

These are different generations — the W176 ran from 2012 to 2018 (facelift 2015), and the current W177 launched in 2018, so the two share no body pressings and the boot lids are not interchangeable. Stay within your own generation: a pre-facelift W176 (2012–2015) and a post-facelift W176 (2015–2018) share the same platform, but whether the pressing itself changed at the facelift is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.

No — the W176 (2012–2018) and W177 (2018 onwards) are entirely separate generations with different body structures, so their boot lids are not compatible. Always source from a breaker who can match your exact generation using your registration number.

Yes, this matters significantly — the 3-door and 5-door A-Class have different rear body pressings and the boot lids are not interchangeable between them. Make sure you tell the breaker your exact door count alongside your registration so they can pull the correct panel.

Trim level — whether your car is an SE, Sport, or AMG Line — does not affect which boot lid will physically fit, as the pressing is the same across trims within the same generation and door count. However, there can be cosmetic differences such as badging, spoiler lips, or finisher panels, so check with the breaker whether the lid includes any trim-specific items or whether you will need to swap those over from your original.

The W176 A-Class facelift arrived in 2015, so a 2016 car is post-facelift. Whether the boot lid pressing changed at that facelift point is not something that can be stated with certainty, so confirm with the breaker by giving them your registration number and letting them verify the correct part against their stock.

No — engine choice, whether diesel or petrol, and drivetrain make no difference to boot lid fitment on the A-Class. The only things that matter are the generation (W176 or W177), door count, and body style, so focus on those when getting quotes from breakers.
