Fitment questions

What generation is my Mercedes-Benz ML and does it affect which bonnet latch I need?

The ML has three generations: the W163 (1997–2005), the W164 (2005–2011), and the W166 (2011–2019), and the bonnet latch is generation-specific so you must match your generation first. Each generation has a distinct front-end structure, meaning latches are not interchangeable between them. Check your V5C or registration plate to confirm which generation you have before requesting quotes from a breaker.

Does the W164 ML have a facelift, and does it affect the bonnet latch?

The W164 ML received a facelift in 2008, which brought changes to the front-end styling including the grille, bumper and lights. The bonnet latch mechanism itself may or may not differ across that 2008 boundary — this is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assume compatibility. Giving the breaker your full reg is the safest way to ensure the part matches your vehicle.

Will a bonnet latch from a 2003 W163 ML fit my 2007 W164 ML?

No — the W163 (1997–2005) and W164 (2005–2011) are completely different generations with different front-end structures, so their bonnet latches are not interchangeable. You must source a latch from the same generation as your vehicle. A breaker will need your registration to pull the correct part.

Does it matter whether my ML is an ML270, ML350, or ML500 when sourcing a bonnet latch?

No — engine variant and trim level do not affect bonnet latch fitment on the ML, as the front-end structure is shared across all engine and drivetrain variants within a generation. Whether you have a diesel or petrol, the correct latch is determined by generation and facelift period, not by what's under the bonnet. Focus on matching the generation and build date when speaking to a breaker.

I have a W166 ML from 2014 — will a latch from a 2012 W166 fit?

Both are W166 generation (2011–2019) so they share the same basic front-end platform, which is a good starting point. However, the W166 received a mid-life update around 2015, so a 2012 latch and a 2014 latch are both pre-facelift and are more likely to be compatible than parts from either side of that boundary. Confirm the exact part number with your breaker against both registrations before purchasing, as minor running changes can occur.

Does the trim level — for example ML Sport, ML AMG Line, or ML BlueTEC — affect which bonnet latch I need?

Trim level does not affect bonnet latch fitment — Sport, AMG Line, BlueTEC and other trim variants all share the same bonnet and latch assembly within a given generation. The latch is a functional mechanical component that does not vary by trim. Just match the generation and check the facelift period with your breaker, and trim can be disregarded entirely.
