Fitment on a used door hinge 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:
Yes, the generation matters significantly: the ML was sold across three generations – the W163 (1997–2005), the W164 (2005–2011), and the W166 (2011–2019) – and hinges are not interchangeable between these generations as the door frames and body structures differ. Within the same generation there may be some carry-over, but you should always confirm against your registration with the breaker before buying.
Both a 2006 and a 2010 ML fall within the W164 generation (2005–2011), so they share the same basic body structure, which is a good starting point for compatibility. However, there was a facelift in 2008 that brought some exterior updates, and whether this affected hinge design or fitment points is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration to be safe.
Yes, this is critical – door hinges are side-specific, so a nearside (NS, passenger/left) hinge will not be the correct fitment for an offside (OS, driver/right) door and vice versa. Always tell the breaker clearly which side you need, as fitting the wrong side is not possible without modification.
Trim level does not affect door hinge fitment on the ML – the hinges are determined by the generation and the door position (front or rear, NS or OS), not the specification level. You may find cosmetic differences around the door area between trims, but the hinge itself is the same mechanical component, so any matching-generation example from the correct side will suit your car.
Yes, front and rear door hinges on the ML are different parts with different mounting geometry, so you must specify whether you need a front or rear hinge as well as the side (NS or OS). Getting all four details right – generation, door position, and side – gives you and the breaker the best chance of finding a correct used part.
No – engine size, whether petrol or diesel, and drivetrain configuration have no bearing on door hinge fitment whatsoever. The hinge is part of the body structure, not the drivetrain, so focus on the generation, door position, and side when speaking to a breaker.
