Used dpfs vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The W204 ran from 2007 to 2014 and the W205 from 2014 onwards, so these are entirely different generations with different exhaust and engine configurations — a DPF from one will not cross to the other. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before ordering.
Both years fall within the W204 generation (2007–2014), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility if the engine codes match — the C220 CDI and C250 CDI units of that era each have their own specific DPF. However, DPF interchange is strong confirm-with-breaker territory, so quote your registration and ask the breaker to verify the part number before committing.
The W204 received a facelift in 2011, and while many mechanical components carried over, exhaust and emissions components can differ even within the same generation due to evolving Euro 5 compliance requirements. Name the engine code and build date when you contact the breaker, as this is exactly the kind of boundary where a visually similar DPF may not be a straight swap.
Trim level — whether SE, Elegance, Sport, or AMG Line — does not affect DPF fitment; what matters is the engine code, fuel type, and emissions standard the car was built to. You may find cosmetic differences in surrounding exhaust trim between variants, but the DPF itself is determined by the drivetrain, not the badge on the boot lid.
Euro 5 and Euro 6 systems are engineered to different emissions standards and are not interchangeable — fitting a Euro 5 DPF to a Euro 6 vehicle could cause the car to fail its MOT emissions test and may trigger fault codes. Always match the emissions era of the replacement DPF to your vehicle, and confirm the exact compatibility with the breaker using your registration number.
The most useful information you can give a breaker is your full registration number, the engine code (found on the V5C or stamped on the engine itself), and the build date of your car — these together identify the correct DPF more reliably than the model year alone. DPF fitment is complex enough that reputable breakers will want to cross-reference part numbers before confirming a sale, so be cautious of anyone who agrees to supply one without asking these questions.
