Fitment questions

Will a rear tailgate from a W163 ML fit my W164 ML?

No – the W163 (ML 1997–2005) and the W164 (ML 2005–2011) are completely different generations with different body pressings, so their tailgates are not interchangeable. You need to match the generation exactly: source a W163 tailgate for a W163, and a W164 tailgate for a W164. Always confirm the exact fit with the breaker against your registration.

Does a pre-facelift W164 tailgate fit a post-facelift W164 ML?

The W164 ML ran from 2005 to 2011 and received a facelift in 2008; while the core body structure remained the same generation, there may be pressing or trim-mount differences between the pre- and post-2008 tailgates. Name the generation boundary to the breaker and confirm against your registration whether the specific panel interchange works, as this is not something we can guarantee from year alone.

Does trim level – for example ML Sport versus ML SE – affect which rear tailgate I need?

Trim level does not determine tailgate fitment on the ML; the tailgate is defined by the generation and body style, not whether the car is SE, Sport, or any other trim. You may find cosmetic differences such as badging positions or spoiler fittings between trims, so check those details with the breaker so you end up with a panel that matches your car's appearance.

Will a W166 ML rear tailgate fit my W166 ML AMG Line?

Yes – on the W166 ML (2011–2019) the tailgate shell fits across trim levels including the AMG Line, because trim does not affect the fundamental panel fitment. Bear in mind that higher trim or AMG Line variants may carry different badging, rear spoilers, or camera apertures, so let the breaker know your exact spec so they can supply a panel with the right features already in place.

I have a 2013 ML – will a tailgate from a 2016 ML fit it?

Both years fall within the W166 generation (2011–2019), so in principle you are looking at the same body, but the W166 received a mid-life update and there may have been pressing or detail changes across that period. Confirm with the breaker against your registration to make sure the exact panel matches before purchasing.

Does the engine or drivetrain – for example ML250 diesel versus ML350 petrol – change which rear tailgate I need?

No – engine choice has no bearing on tailgate fitment for the ML; the correct panel is determined entirely by the generation (W163, W164, or W166) and the body style. Tell the breaker your registration and generation, and they will be able to identify the right tailgate without needing to know what engine is under the bonnet.
