Fitment on a used clutch master cylinder varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
No — the Mercedes-Benz ML (W163, W164, and W166 generations) was only ever sold with automatic gearboxes in the UK market, so it has no clutch pedal and no clutch master cylinder at any point in its production run. If you're getting quotes for this part on an ML, it's likely a mistake in the search. What you may actually be looking for is a brake master cylinder, which does exist on the ML and is a common replacement item.
Because the ML is automatic-only in the UK, there is no clutch master cylinder on the vehicle — so any quote you've received for one is almost certainly the result of a misidentification. The most likely mix-up is with the brake master cylinder, which sits on the bulkhead and operates the brake pedal in a similar position to where a clutch master cylinder would be on a manual car. It's worth double-checking the part name with your mechanic or the breaker before ordering anything.
It is theoretically possible that certain markets outside the UK received manual gearbox options on some ML variants, particularly on earlier W163 models, but this would be extremely unusual and such vehicles are very rarely seen in the UK. If you have a grey import and genuinely believe it has a manual gearbox, confirm this with a VIN check and supply the full engine code to the breaker, as sourcing the correct part for such an atypical specification would require careful matching. Do not assume any standard UK-market ML will have this part.
For the brake master cylinder, the key details to supply to a breaker are your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check), the generation — W163 (1997–2005), W164 (2005–2011), or W166 (2011–2019) — and whether your vehicle has standard brakes or a brake assist or air suspension system, as these can affect the master cylinder specification. Trim level — whether you have an ML270, ML320, ML350, ML500, or AMG variant — is less important than the engine code for mechanical fitment. Always confirm the part against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.
