Both years fall within the W212 generation (2009–2016), but the W212 received a facelift in 2013 that brought changes to the front-end including the grille and bumper area, which can affect related components like the bonnet latch and its striker. The pre-facelift (2009–2012) and post-facelift (2013–2016) latches may or may not interchange, so confirm compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.
No — the W211 (2002–2009) and W212 (2009–2016) are entirely different generations with different front-end structures, so the bonnet latch and striker assembly will not be the same part. Always source a latch from the correct generation for your car.
No, trim level does not affect bonnet latch fitment on the E-Class — the latch mechanism is part of the body structure and is shared across SE, Avantgarde, Sport, AMG Line and other trim variants within the same generation and facelift period. You may find cosmetic differences in the engine bay area between trims, but the latch itself is the same part.
For the saloon and estate (also sold as the T-Model), front-end panels including the bonnet latch are shared within the same generation and facelift period, so body style does not affect fitment for those variants. The E-Class Coupe (C207) and Cabriolet share their own platform and have a different front end, so if you have one of those, make sure the breaker knows you have the C207 rather than the W212.
Both sit within the W212 generation, but the 2015 car is post-facelift (facelift from 2013) while a 2009 car is pre-facelift, meaning front-end components may differ between the two periods. Whether the latch itself interchanges across that 2013 facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker using your registration, as the striker plate and bonnet alignment can vary.
No — the bonnet latch is part of the bodyshell and is not affected by whether your E-Class has a petrol, diesel, or AMG engine. Fitment is determined by generation (for example W211 or W212) and facelift period, not by what is under the bonnet.
