Used Mercedes-Benz B-Class Boot Lid

The B-Class has run across two main generations: the first-generation W245 ran from 2005 to 2011, and the second-generation W246 ran from 2011 to 2018, with a facelift arriving in 2014. These two generations are completely different cars on different platforms, so a W245 boot lid will not fit a W246 and vice versa. Within each generation, start by confirming your generation code with the breaker against your registration.

The W246 facelift arrived in 2014, and while the fundamental platform stayed the same, whether pressing changes affected boot lid fitment across that boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. Name your exact year and registration when requesting a quote so the breaker can cross-reference their stock accurately. Do not assume a 2013 lid and a 2015 lid are interchangeable without that check.

Trim level does not affect boot lid fitment on the B-Class - the panel itself is the same pressing across SE, Sport, and AMG Line variants on the same generation. What can differ is whether your existing lid carries a rear badge, spoiler lip, or trim finisher specific to a particular spec, so factor that in when sourcing a used part. The breaker only needs your generation and year to match the lid itself.

Both 2008 and 2010 fall within the first-generation W245 (2005 to 2011), so in principle you are looking at the same generation of car. However, confirm with the breaker against your registration whether any mid-generation pressing changes affect your specific year, as these details are worth verifying rather than assuming. Your breaker will be able to check their stock against your reg.

The W246 ran from 2011 to 2018 with a facelift in 2014, and visual changes to the rear of the car around that refresh mean a pre-facelift and post-facelift boot lid may not look identical even if fixings were similar. Whether the panels physically interchange across that 2014 boundary is something to confirm with the breaker against your registration, as mid-generation pressing changes are not always well-documented publicly. Always give the breaker your full registration so they can match accurately.

The B-Class is a five-door hatchback and the same body style was sold across European markets on the same platform, so the fundamental lid pressing is generally the same. However, subtle panel differences can exist between same-platform variants sold across different markets, so it is worth confirming this with the breaker against your registration before purchasing. Your breaker will be familiar with these variations and is your best source of confirmation.
