Used rear view mirrors 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:
This is likely to be a generation mismatch. The first-generation GLE (W166) ran from 2015 to 2019, while the second-generation GLE (V167) launched in 2019, so a 2016 mirror is from a different generation to a 2020 car and the mounting points, wiring connectors, and glass profiles are unlikely to be compatible. Confirm the exact changeover point and part compatibility with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Yes, generation is the key factor — the first-generation GLE (W166, 2015–2019) and the second-generation GLE (V167, 2019 onwards) use different mirrors and are not directly interchangeable. Within the same generation, mirrors from the same trim level are generally a safe match, though wiring connectors can vary depending on which optional features such as auto-dimming or a built-in camera are fitted. Always confirm against your registration with the breaker.
It can do, yes. Higher GLE trims such as AMG Line and AMG Line Premium are more likely to have auto-dimming mirrors or integrated camera displays compared to standard Sport or SE trim cars, which may have a simpler mirror without those features. The physical mounting is typically the same within a generation, but if your car has auto-dimming or a camera, you will need a mirror with matching electronics to retain that functionality. Check what features your current mirror has and confirm the replacement matches with the breaker.
The second-generation GLE (V167) was introduced in late 2019, but first-generation (W166) cars were still being registered around the same time as remaining stock was sold. This overlap means a late 2019 registration could be either generation, so you cannot rely on the year alone. The breaker will need your full registration or VIN to confirm which generation you have and source the correct mirror.
No — the rear view mirror is an interior part and engine type has no bearing on fitment whatsoever. What matters is the generation (W166 or V167) and the trim level, particularly whether your car has features such as auto-dimming or an integrated display. Focus on matching those details rather than the engine when speaking to the breaker.
The GLE Coupe (C167) shares its platform with the standard GLE (V167) within the same generation, but interior parts do not always cross over cleanly between body styles, and trim and feature specifications can differ. It is possible the mirrors are identical in some configurations, but this is not something that can be guaranteed without checking the specific part numbers. Confirm compatibility with the breaker against both vehicles' registrations before purchasing.
