Used Mercedes-Benz Citan Bonnet

The first-generation Citan (W415) ran from 2012 to 2021 and shares the same front-end bodywork across its entire production run, covering all body lengths and roof heights within that generation. A second-generation Citan (W420) was introduced from 2022 onwards on a different platform, and bonnets from that model will not interchange with the first-generation car. Always confirm the exact generation with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

Both the 2015 and 2018 Citan fall within the same first-generation W415 platform (2012–2021), so the bonnet design was carried across this period without a significant facelift boundary between those two years. In practice, bonnets from this era should be directly comparable, but confirm the exact part with your breaker quoting your registration, as minor production changes can occur mid-run.

The 2022 Citan moved to the all-new second-generation W420 platform, which is a completely different vehicle architecture with a redesigned front end, so a bonnet from the first-generation W415 (2012–2021) will not fit a W420. You must source a bonnet matched to your specific generation; give the breaker your registration to confirm which generation you have.

Trim level does not affect bonnet fitment on the Citan — the bonnet is shared across van, Tourer and Mixto variants within the same generation because the front-end structure is common to all body styles on that platform. The only cosmetic difference you might notice is paint colour or minor surface finish, so check the colour code when sourcing from a breaker to avoid a respray where possible.

Engine choice makes no difference to bonnet fitment on the Citan — the bonnet panel is the same whether the car runs a 1.5-litre diesel or a petrol engine, as none of those variants required a different front-end panel within a generation. Focus on confirming the correct generation and model year with the breaker rather than the engine specification.

Yes — wheelbase and body length do not affect the bonnet on the Citan, as the front-end panels are shared across all length variants within a generation. Whether the breaker's donor vehicle is a compact, long or XL Citan, the bonnet should be the same panel, but always confirm against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.
