Second Hand Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Bonnet

The Sprinter has had three main generations sold in the UK: the first generation (W901–W905) ran from 1995 to 2006, the second generation (W906) ran from 2006 to 2018, and the third generation (W907/W910) launched in 2018 and is current. Generation is the single most important factor for bonnet fitment, as the front-end panels are completely different between generations. Always give your exact registration to the breaker so they can confirm the correct generation for your van.

Both a 2010 and a 2014 Sprinter fall within the W906 second generation (2006–2018), so they share the same platform and front-end structure. However, the W906 received a facelift in 2013 which brought changes to the front-end styling including the grille and surround area, so there is a facelift boundary between those two years. Whether the bonnet panel itself interchanges across that 2013 facelift is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration, as subtle changes can affect fit or appearance.

The W906 facelift in 2013 updated the Sprinter's front-end, and while the bonnet's core shape may be very similar, whether the panel itself is a straight swap across that boundary is not something that can be guaranteed from a fitment guide alone. Name the 2013 facelift year to your breaker and ask them to check the part against your registration before purchasing. Assuming compatibility across a facelift boundary without verification risks ending up with a panel that doesn't align correctly with the updated grille and lights.

No — wheelbase and roof height have no bearing on bonnet fitment for the Sprinter, because the bonnet is a front-end panel shared across all body length and roof height variants within a generation. A bonnet from a long-wheelbase, high-roof W906, for example, is the same panel as on a standard-wheelbase, low-roof W906 of the same facelift period. Just confirm the generation and facelift period with your breaker and you can disregard the body configuration entirely.

The Sprinter's numeric designations (such as 314, 316, or 519) refer to payload and engine size combinations, not to distinct trim lines with different front-end styling, so they make no difference to bonnet fitment. Front-end panels are shared across these variants within a generation and facelift period. Simply confirm your generation (W906 or W907, for example) and whether your van is pre- or post-facelift when speaking to the breaker.

The bonnet panel itself is not affected by whether the donor van had halogen or other headlight variants, as the bonnet does not incorporate the light units. However, if there are any differences in the bonnet's front edge or hinge area related to headlight fitment variants within a facelift period, that is something to confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. In most cases the bonnet will be the same panel, but let the breaker cross-reference both registrations to be sure.
