Used boot lids vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The GLA runs across two distinct generations: the first-generation (X156) ran from 2013 to 2019, with a facelift in 2017, and the second-generation (X247) launched in 2020 onwards. Boot lids do not cross between X156 and X247 – the bodyshell changed completely – so always make sure the breaker's part matches your generation, not just the GLA name. Within each generation, confirm with the breaker whether the pre-facelift or post-facelift pressing is correct for your registration.
A 2015 GLA is a pre-facelift X156, while a 2018 GLA sits on the post-facelift X156 (the facelift arrived in 2017). Both are the same generation and platform, but there can be pressing or fitting differences between pre- and post-facelift panels – confirm with the breaker that the part number or pressing matches your specific registration before buying.
Trim level – whether that's SE, Sport, AMG Line, or any other – does not affect which boot lid will physically fit your GLA; the pressing is the same across the range within a given generation and facelift phase. You may find cosmetic differences such as spoiler lips, badging, or paint finish between trim grades, so bear that in mind if matching appearance matters to you. Confirm the colour code and any integrated spoiler spec with the breaker, but don't worry about trim level for the core fit.
No – the GLA and GLB are different vehicles on different platforms with completely different body structures, so their boot lids are not interchangeable. Always source a boot lid specifically listed for the GLA (X156 or X247 depending on your year) and ignore GLB parts even if the cars look broadly similar from the outside.
Engine makes no difference whatsoever to boot lid fitment on the GLA – whether you have a petrol, diesel, or any 4MATIC variant, the boot lid pressing is identical within the same generation and facelift period. Focus your search on generation (X156 or X247), facelift status, and colour code, and you can safely ignore engine type entirely.
Ask the breaker to check the part against your full registration number or VIN rather than relying on a rough year alone, since the 2017 facelift means a pre-2017 and post-2017 X156 lid may differ. It's also worth confirming whether any rear camera, parking sensor, or spoiler apertures match your car's specification, as these cut-outs can vary. A reputable breaker should be able to cross-reference your reg before the part is sent.
