Used bumpers 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 main generations: the first-generation X156 ran from 2013 to 2019, and the second-generation H247 launched in 2020 and is still current. Bumpers, grilles and front-end panels are not interchangeable between these two generations as the body structure is completely different. When searching for a used bumper, always make sure the breaker confirms the part is from the correct generation for your car.
Both a 2016 and a 2014 GLA are first-generation X156 models, and the X156 received a facelift in 2017 which brought revised front bumper styling. Since both your years sit within the pre-facelift X156 period, fitment is much more likely, but always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.
This question crosses the 2017 facelift boundary within the first-generation X156 - the 2018 car is a facelifted model while the 2016 is pre-facelift, and bumpers and grilles typically changed at that point. Whether the panels interchange in practice is something you must confirm with the breaker against your specific registration, as this is exactly the boundary where differences are most likely to matter.
Engine and trim level do not affect which generation or facelift period your bumper comes from, so the underlying fitment question is the same regardless of whether your GLA is SE, Sport, or AMG Line. That said, AMG Line models used a different bumper style with more aggressive styling, so a bumper pulled from a non-AMG Line car may bolt on but look noticeably different on your vehicle. Tell the breaker which trim your car is so they can source a panel that matches your front-end appearance.
Engine choice makes no difference to bumper fitment on the GLA - the front-end panels are shared across the petrol and diesel variants within the same generation and facelift period. Focus on matching the generation (X156 or H247) and whether your car is pre- or post-facelift, and the breaker can take it from there using your registration.
Headlight type can affect the bumper if there are different apertures or trim finishes around the light housings, and this is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. Give the breaker your full registration number so they can check the headlight specification on your car and match the replacement panel accordingly.
