Second Hand Mercedes-Benz EQS Bonnet Latch

The EQS is a fully electric vehicle and, like many EVs, its front compartment is a storage area (frunk) rather than an engine bay, but it does still have a conventional bonnet secured by a mechanical latch and release mechanism, so the part genuinely exists on this model. You can search for a used EQS bonnet latch from a breaker in the normal way.

The EQS (V297 platform) launched in 2021 and received a facelift for the 2025 model year, so a 2022 and a 2024 car are both pre-facelift cars within the same generation, which is a promising starting point for compatibility. That said, whether the latch mechanism is identical across all pre-facelift build dates is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration before you buy.

For a bonnet latch, trim level and drivetrain make no difference — the front-end structure and latch mechanism are shared across EQS variants within the same generation regardless of whether the car is rear-wheel drive or 4MATIC. You do not need to match the trim when sourcing this part from a breaker.

Bonnet latch fitment is determined by the front-end structure, which is shared across body lengths within a generation, so wheelbase differences do not affect compatibility. A latch from any standard or extended-wheelbase EQS of the same generation should be a candidate, but confirm the part number with the breaker against your reg to be sure.

The EQS facelift arrived for the 2025 model year, and facelifts typically bring changes to the front-end panels including the bonnet, which can affect whether the latch and its mounting points interchange. We would not recommend assuming a pre-facelift latch fits a post-facelift car or vice versa — check this directly with the breaker using your registration number before purchasing.

Findapart lets you request quotes from multiple UK vehicle dismantlers (breakers) who strip salvage EQS cars, so you can compare prices for a good used latch without visiting multiple yards. Give the breaker your full registration number so they can confirm the correct part for your specific build date and specification.
