No — the W163 (1997–2005) and W164 (2005–2011) are completely different generations with different interior architectures, so the glove boxes are not interchangeable. You must source a glove box from the correct generation to match your car. Tell the breaker your registration so they can confirm the right unit.
Yes, generation is the most important factor. The ML ran as the W163 (1997–2005), W164 (2005–2011), and W166 (2011–2019), each with a completely different dashboard design and glove box fitment. Always confirm your generation with the breaker against your registration plate.
No — 2008 falls within the W164 generation (2005–2011), while a 2012 ML is a W166 (2011–2019), and these are entirely different interior designs. The glove box from one generation will not fit the other, so make sure you source from the correct generation. Give the breaker your registration to be certain.
Trim level can make a difference to the appearance or specification of the glove box — for example, higher trims such as Sport or Designo may have a different finish or a cooled glove box function compared to entry-level variants. Functionally the basic fitment is tied to generation, but it is worth describing your trim to the breaker so they can match the spec as closely as possible. Confirm against your registration to avoid ending up with a visually mismatched unit.
No — the engine makes no difference to glove box fitment on the Mercedes ML. Whether you have a petrol or diesel, the glove box is determined by the interior generation and trim level, not what is under the bonnet. Focus your search on getting the right generation and trim match instead.
Yes, all standard variants of the Mercedes ML across all three generations (W163, W164, and W166) were fitted with a glove box as part of the dashboard. It is a genuine part you can source from a breaker, and availability of used examples is generally good. Confirm your generation and trim with the breaker against your registration to get the best match.
