Fitment questions
Do Mercedes B-Class models actually have CV joints?
Yes, all Mercedes-Benz B-Class models have CV joints because the B-Class is a front-wheel-drive car throughout its production run — the driveshafts that transfer power from the gearbox to the front wheels use CV joints at both the inner and outer ends. If your B-Class has 4MATIC all-wheel drive (available on the second generation W246 onwards), there will also be CV joints on the rear driveshafts. So regardless of engine size or trim, every B-Class will have CV joints somewhere in its drivetrain.
Will a CV joint from a 2014 B-Class fit my 2012 B-Class?
Both a 2012 and a 2014 B-Class fall within the second-generation W246 (2011–2018), so they share the same basic platform, but the W246 received a facelift in 2014 and you should confirm with the breaker whether the specific driveshaft or CV joint you need changed at that point for your engine variant. Engine size can affect which driveshaft assembly is fitted, so give the breaker your exact registration so they can check the part numbers against both cars. Never assume fitment without that check.
Does the CV joint from a first-generation W245 B-Class fit the second-generation W246?
The W245 ran from 2005 to 2011 and the W246 from 2011 to 2018 — these are completely different platforms with different subframes, gearboxes and driveshaft geometry, so the CV joints are not interchangeable between generations. Always source a CV joint matched to your specific generation and engine size. Confirm part numbers with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
Does the trim level affect which CV joint I need — for example, does a Sport need a different one to an SE or AMG Line?
Trim level alone — SE, Sport, AMG Line — does not affect which CV joint is fitted to your B-Class, as these are cosmetic and equipment packages rather than changes to the drivetrain. What does matter is your engine size, whether your car has standard front-wheel drive or 4MATIC all-wheel drive, and which generation (W245 or W246) your car is. Tell the breaker your registration and they can confirm the correct driveshaft and CV joint specification for your exact car.
Does it matter whether I need the nearside or offside CV joint on my B-Class?
Yes, side absolutely matters — the nearside (NS, left, passenger side) and offside (OS, right, driver side) driveshafts can be different lengths on front-wheel-drive cars like the B-Class because of where the gearbox sits, so they are not always interchangeable. Always specify NS or OS clearly when contacting a breaker. If you are unsure which side is failing, a garage can confirm this before you order.
My B-Class is a W246 built after the 2014 facelift — is it harder to find a matching used CV joint?
The post-2014 facelift W246 is still a very common car and breakers across the UK regularly have them in stock, so availability of used CV joints should not be a significant problem. The facelift updated styling and some interior equipment rather than a wholesale drivetrain redesign, but confirm with the breaker whether the joint specification changed for your specific engine variant around that time. Giving the breaker your registration is the most reliable way to ensure you get the correct part.
