No two handbrake levers are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
No — the B-Class (both the W245 generation from 2005–2011 and the W246 generation from 2012–2018) uses an electronic parking brake operated by a button on the centre console, not a traditional pull-up handbrake lever. There is no mechanical handbrake lever fitted to any variant of the B-Class, regardless of engine or trim level. If you are looking for the electronic parking brake switch or button, that is the part you need to search for instead.
Yes, the generation matters significantly: the first-generation B-Class (W245, 2005–2011) and second-generation (W246, 2012–2018) have different interior designs and different electronic parking brake switch units, so they are not interchangeable. Confirm the exact part with your breaker against your registration number to make sure you get the correct switch for your generation.
Both a 2013 and a 2016 B-Class fall within the W246 generation (2012–2018), so they share the same basic interior architecture, which is a good starting point. However, the W246 received a facelift in 2015, and there may be subtle differences in the switch or surrounding trim panel between pre- and post-facelift cars, so confirm compatibility with your breaker against both registration numbers before purchasing.
Trim level — whether your car is an SE, Sport, AMG Line, or similar — is unlikely to change the parking brake switch itself, as it is a functional electronic component rather than a cosmetic one. That said, the surrounding centre console trim can vary between trim levels, so bear in mind that a switch sourced from a different trim may come with slightly different surrounding finisher pieces. Confirm the exact part number with your breaker against your registration to be sure.
No — even manual-gearbox versions of the B-Class use an electronic parking brake button rather than a pull-up handbrake lever, so the transmission type makes no difference here. If you are searching for a handbrake lever for a B-Class, this part simply does not exist on the car; the electronic parking brake switch is what you need to be looking for instead.
