Both years fall within the W204 generation (2007–2014), so the latch mounting points and panel design are shared across that platform. However, the W204 received a facelift in 2011, which updated the front-end including the bonnet, so a pre-facelift (2007–2011) and post-facelift (2011–2014) latch may not interchange directly. Name your exact registration when contacting the breaker so they can confirm whether the specific latch matches across that 2011 boundary.
No — the W205 (2014–2021) is a completely different generation from the W204 (2007–2014), with a redesigned front end and different panel geometry, so the bonnet latch from one will not suit the other. Make sure the breaker's part comes from the same generation as your car by quoting your registration.
Trim level does not affect bonnet latch fitment — the latch mechanism and striker are the same across SE, Sport, AMG Line, and AMG variants within a given generation, because the bonnet and front-end structure are shared regardless of specification. You may find cosmetic differences in the surrounding grille or bumper, but the latch itself is unaffected by trim. Focus on matching the generation and facelift period rather than the trim name.
Within a single generation, the bonnet latch is generally shared across the saloon, estate (T-Model), and coupé body styles because the front-end structure is common to the platform. Confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure, as there can occasionally be minor production differences between body styles.
The W205 ran from 2014 to 2021 and received a facelift in 2018, which updated the front end including the bonnet. A 2015 latch is pre-facelift and your 2019 car is post-facelift, so they sit either side of that boundary. Confirm with the breaker against your registration whether the specific latch interchanges across the 2018 facelift cut-off.
Yes — every C-Class, across all generations, body styles, and engine variants, has a conventional front-opening bonnet with a latch and safety catch mechanism, so this is a genuine and straightforward part to source from a breaker. The key variables for finding the right used latch are the generation (W202, W203, W204, W205, or W206) and whether your car is pre- or post-facelift within that generation.
