Used axles vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
These are actually different generations: the first-generation B-Class (W245) ran from 2005 to 2011, while the second-generation (W246) launched in 2011 and ran through to 2018, so a 2010 car is W245 and a 2013 car is W246 and the two are not interchangeable. Stick to donor cars within the same generation as yours and confirm the exact match against your registration with the breaker before ordering.
Both years fall within the second-generation W246 (2011–2018), which received a facelift in 2015, so there is a generation boundary right at the later car's model year. The axle may well carry over across that facelift, but whether it does on your specific variant is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as running-gear details can change at a refresh.
Yes, engine size is a relevant factor because larger or more powerful engines can require uprated running gear to cope with the additional weight and torque. When asking a breaker for a quote, always give them your exact engine designation (for example B180, B200, B220 or the diesel equivalents) alongside your registration so they can match the correct unit.
Trim level alone — SE, Sport, AMG Line and so on — does not determine which axle is fitted; what matters is the generation (W245 or W246) and the engine variant. You may find that a Sport car came with a different suspension setup or different-sized brakes, but the core axle carrier is driven by the powertrain rather than the badge, so do not rule out a donor car simply because its trim name differs from yours. That said, confirm any sport-suspension or brake differences with the breaker against both registrations to be safe.
The first-generation B-Class is the W245, produced from 2005 to 2011, and the second-generation is the W246, produced from 2011 to 2018 with a facelift in 2015. The easiest way to be certain is to give the breaker your vehicle registration number, as they can look up the exact build details and confirm which axle to pull.
Engine type and size are among the factors that can influence axle and running-gear specifications, so a petrol-to-diesel swap within the same generation is not automatically a straightforward match. Always quote both your registration and the donor car's registration to the breaker so they can cross-reference the exact specifications before any parts are dispatched.
