Cheap Mercedes-Benz Citan Glove Box

Yes, the Citan does have a glove box on passenger-car and combi variants, though the fitment and style varies by trim level and generation. Pure panel van versions (with a single bench or no front passenger provision) may have a more basic cubby arrangement rather than a traditional lockable glove box, so it is worth confirming which body style you have before ordering a used part from a breaker.

The first-generation Citan ran from 2012 to 2021 on the W415 platform, and glove box parts should be sourced from within that generation for the best chance of a direct fit. A second-generation Citan (W420, 2022 onwards) uses a completely different interior architecture and its glove box will not cross over, so always tell the breaker your exact registration to confirm you are matching the right generation.

The W415 Citan received a facelift around 2018 that brought some interior updates, and while major structural changes were limited, minor trim fixings and finisher details can differ between pre- and post-facelift cars. Name the generation boundary to the breaker and give them your registration, as they can check whether the specific unit from their vehicle matches your fixing points and finish before you commit.

Trim level can affect the glove box on the Citan because higher-spec variants — such as those with a proper passenger-car interior — may have a different glove box design or integrated features compared to more basic commercial-spec versions. If you have a Tourer or higher-grade Citan, tell the breaker the trim as well as the registration, so they can match the right unit and avoid obvious cosmetic mismatches like missing damped hinges or different finishes.

UK Citans are right-hand drive, so the glove box sits on the left-hand (near-side, NS) side in front of the passenger, and this is the standard part you will be looking for. If a breaker is supplying a part from a left-hand-drive European vehicle the glove box position may differ or the dash surround may not align correctly, so confirm the source vehicle is also right-hand drive.

No, engine type has no bearing on glove box fitment — the same interior unit is used regardless of whether your Citan has a petrol or diesel engine. Focus instead on generation, body style, and trim level when describing your vehicle to the breaker, and always quote your registration so they can pull up the exact specification.
