Used Mercedes-Benz CLE Airbag

The CLE is a single-generation model that launched in 2023, replacing both the C-Class Coupe and E-Class Coupe lines, so all current cars sit within this one generation. Because there is only one generation so far, year-to-year fitment within the range is generally consistent, but always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker. Airbags are safety-critical components and must be fitted by a qualified technician.

Within the current single CLE generation (2023 onwards), airbags are broadly from the same design family, so a 2023-sourced part may well correspond to a 2024 or 2025 car. That said, compatibility with your specific SRS control module can vary and is not something to assume — confirm this against your registration with the breaker before purchasing. Because airbags are single-use safety-critical parts, professional fitting is strongly recommended.

Trim level can matter for the CLE because seat specification and interior configuration vary between grades such as Avantgarde and AMG Line, and seat-mounted side airbags in particular are tied to the specific seat used. If you need a seat-mounted airbag, tell the breaker your exact trim so they can match the correct seat type. For dashboard or curtain airbags the trim difference is less likely to matter, but still worth confirming with the breaker against your registration.

Yes, body style can affect fitment — the CLE is offered as both a two-door Coupe and a Cabriolet, and curtain or side airbag configurations may differ between them. Always tell the breaker which body style you have, as well as whether you need the nearside (NS, passenger) or offside (OS, driver) part. Airbags are safety-critical and should only be fitted by a qualified professional.

The CLE replaced the C-Class Coupe and E-Class Coupe from 2023 but is an entirely new platform, so parts from those earlier models are not a like-for-like swap. Whether any specific airbag crosses over is something to confirm with the breaker against your registration, as SRS system compatibility in particular is not something to assume. Airbags are single-use safety-critical components, so professional fitting is essential.

A used airbag that has never been deployed is a legitimate option and commonly supplied by UK breakers, but you must confirm with the breaker that the unit has not been triggered and is in sound condition. Compatibility with your car's specific SRS system should also be verified against your registration rather than assumed. Airbags are safety-critical, single-use components, so fitting must be carried out by a qualified technician — improper installation creates serious risk.
