Second Hand Mercedes-Benz B-Class Wing Mirror

The Mercedes-Benz B-Class runs across two clear generations: the first generation (W245) covered 2005 to 2011, and the second generation (W246) ran from 2012 to 2018, so a 2008 mirror and a 2012 mirror come from different generations and are not the same part. Mirrors from the W245 will not cross over to fit the W246 — if your car sits right on or near that 2012 boundary, confirm the exact generation against your registration with the breaker before ordering.

The W246 B-Class received a facelift in 2015, and while both cars share the same generation, whether the mirror casing and mounting are identical across that facelift year is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration. Side matters regardless — make sure you specify NS (nearside, passenger left) or OS (offside, driver right) when you get your quote. Never assume a pre-facelift and post-facelift mirror are a straight swap without checking.

Trim level — whether SE, Sport, Urban Sport, or AMG Line — does not affect the fundamental fitment of the mirror housing; the mounting points and shell are generation and side specific, not trim specific. What can differ between trims is the feature set built into the mirror, such as whether it has an indicator repeater, auto-fold, or a heated element, so a mirror pulled from a lower-spec car may look correct but lack features your original had. Confirm the feature spec of the donor mirror with the breaker if those functions matter to you, but the physical fit question comes down to generation and NS or OS.

Side is essential for a wing mirror — the NS (nearside, passenger left) and OS (offside, driver right) housings are shaped and mounted differently and are not interchangeable. Always specify the correct side when contacting a breaker, and double-check by looking at the shape of the housing on your car before you order. Swapping just the glass is sometimes possible but is a separate question from whether the full mirror unit fits.

Colour is not a fitment consideration — the mirror housing is the same part regardless of paint finish, and a used mirror in a different colour can be resprayed to match your car. When getting quotes from breakers on Findapart, focus on confirming the correct generation (W245 2005–2011 or W246 2012–2018), the correct side (NS or OS), and any features you need rather than trying to match colour. A good body shop can match the paint once the correct mirror is fitted.

Both a 2013 and a 2016 B-Class fall within the W246 generation (2012–2018), so they share the same generation, which is a good starting point. However, the W246 received a facelift in 2015, meaning a 2013 car is pre-facelift and a 2016 car is post-facelift, and whether the mirror housing is identical across that boundary is something to confirm with the breaker against both registrations before buying. Always specify NS (nearside) or OS (offside) clearly when you request your quote.
