Fitment on a used rear view mirror varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class has gone through distinct generations — the W168 (1997–2004), W169 (2004–2012), W176 (2012–2018, facelifted 2015), and W177 (2018–present) — and the interior rear view mirror is generation-specific, so parts do not swap across these boundaries. A mirror from a W176 pre-facelift (2012–2015) may or may not interchange with a W176 post-facelift (2015–2018), so confirm that crossing with the breaker against your registration. Staying within the same generation and facelift phase gives you the best chance of a direct fit.
Both years fall within the W176 generation, but 2016 is post-facelift (2015 onwards) and 2013 is pre-facelift, and Mercedes updated interior trim and electronics across that 2015 refresh. Whether the mirror itself is interchangeable across that facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations before buying. Sticking to the same facelift phase — both pre-2015 or both post-2015 — is the safer approach.
The interior rear view mirror mounts to the windscreen and is not affected by door count, so this is one fitment factor you do not need to worry about. Generation and trim level are the more relevant considerations, so focus your search there.
Trim level can matter for the A-Class interior mirror because higher trims such as AMG Line may have an auto-dimming or camera-integrated mirror, while SE or Sport may have a standard manual unit. The mirror will physically mount the same way within a generation, but you may end up with a cosmetically or functionally different item if you mix trims. Check with the breaker what features the donor mirror has so you get like-for-like functionality.
No — whether your A-Class is petrol, diesel, or hybrid makes no difference to the rear view mirror fitment. Generation and trim level are what matter here, so focus on matching those rather than the engine when searching for a used part.
The interior rear view mirror is a single centrally mounted unit, so there is no nearside or offside to specify — you just need to match the generation, facelift phase, and trim level to ensure you get the right features such as auto-dimming if your original had it. If you are instead looking for an exterior door mirror, that is a different part and side (NS or OS) does become essential information to give the breaker.
