Fitment on a used wishbone varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
Both years sit within the same second-generation B-Class (W246, 2011–2018), so they share the same basic platform and wishbone design. A 2013 unit should be a direct match for a 2012 car of the same engine size and side (NS or OS). Always confirm the part number with the breaker against your registration to be certain.
The W246 B-Class ran from 2011 to 2018 with a facelift in 2014, and Mercedes did not redesign the front suspension geometry at that point. That said, whether a specific wishbone crosses that 2014 boundary without issue is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations, as minor running-gear revisions can occur mid-generation without a full model update. Give the breaker both reg plates and let them cross-reference part numbers before buying.
Engine size can affect suspension components on some cars because heavier or more powerful variants may use uprated running gear, so it is worth specifying your exact engine when asking the breaker for a quote. For the W246 B-Class, always quote your engine code alongside the registration so the breaker can check whether the B180 and B220 units share the same part number or differ. Do not assume they are identical without that confirmation.
Trim level — whether SE, Sport, AMG Line or Urban — does not affect which wishbone your B-Class needs, as the suspension pickup points are set by the platform, not the interior or styling pack. The side (NS nearside or OS offside) and engine size are what matter when sourcing the part. One thing to be aware of is that Sport and AMG Line cars may sit on different spring and damper rates, but that does not change the wishbone itself.
No — the first-generation B-Class (W245, 2005–2011) and the second-generation B-Class (W246, 2011–2018) are distinct platforms and their wishbones are not interchangeable. Always make sure the breaker knows which generation you have, and give them your registration to confirm the exact part. Mixing parts between these two generations would be a fitment error.
At a minimum, give the breaker your full registration number, the side you need (NS nearside for driver's side in UK traffic, or OS offside for passenger side), and your engine size or code. The generation (W245 or W246) and any mid-generation changes are what the breaker will check against, and a registration lookup will confirm those details instantly on their end. Never buy on model name alone — the reg plate is the safest starting point.
