Used wing mirrors vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The ML has two well-established generations: the W163 (1997–2005) and the W164 (2005–2011), followed by the W166 (2011–2019). These generations used different body structures and mirror mountings, so a mirror from one generation will not fit another. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact generation.
The W163 runs from 1997 to 2005 and the W164 from 2005 to 2011 – these are entirely different generations with different door skins and mirror bases, so they are not interchangeable. You will need a mirror confirmed to your specific generation. Quote your registration to the breaker so they can verify the correct part.
Yes, this is critical: the nearside (NS) is the passenger/left side and the offside (OS) is the driver/right side, and they are completely different parts. Ordering the wrong side means the mirror will not mount or adjust correctly. Always confirm NS or OS with your breaker before they source the part.
Trim level – whether SE, Sport, or AMG Line – does not affect the physical fitment of the wing mirror frame to the door. You may receive a mirror in a different colour or with slightly different finishing details depending on the donor vehicle, but the frame itself will mount correctly regardless of trim. Bear in mind colour can be resprayed to match, and fitment is what matters here.
You should confirm with the breaker whether your mirror is electric, heated, auto-folding, or has an indicator repeater, as these affect the internal components even if the outer casing looks identical. These feature variants are harder to verify from body details alone, so the breaker will want to check against your registration. Stating your exact generation (W163, W164, or W166) and the side you need will help them narrow it down quickly.
The W164 generation ran from 2005 to 2011 and received a facelift during its production run; whether the mirror casing changed across that facelift is not something that can be confirmed with certainty here. Name the generation and provide your registration to the breaker, and they will be able to check whether the pre- and post-facelift mirrors interchange for your specific vehicle. Never assume fitment across a facelift boundary without the breaker verifying it.
