Second Hand Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Boot Lid

The Sprinter has run across three main generations 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. Boot lids do not interchange between generations as the body pressings are completely different, so always match your replacement to the correct generation first. Confirm the exact generation with the breaker against your registration before ordering.

Both a 2012 and a 2016 Sprinter fall within the second-generation W906 platform, which ran from 2006 to 2018, so they share the same basic body structure. However, you also need to match the roof height (low, medium, or high roof) and wheelbase, as the rear aperture and panel geometry differ between variants. Whether there were any mid-generation pressing changes between those years is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations before assuming a straight swap.

No — a 2019 Sprinter is a third-generation W907/W910, while anything before 2018 is a second-generation W906, and the two generations use entirely different body panels that will not interchange. Make sure you source a lid from a 2018-onwards third-generation van to stand any chance of fitment. Always confirm with the breaker against your registration, as early W907 production and any transition-period vehicles can have their own quirks.

Yes, this is one of the most important fitment questions for the Sprinter — barn doors (the twin side-hinged doors) and a tailgate (the single top-hinged lift-up panel) are completely different assemblies and are not interchangeable in any way. You must tell the breaker exactly which type your van has, as both configurations were offered across the W906 and W907 generations. Getting this wrong means the part will simply not fit your vehicle.

Yes, both matter significantly on the Sprinter. The rear panel and door aperture dimensions vary between low-roof, medium-roof, and high-roof variants, and in some configurations between standard and long wheelbase too, so a lid from the wrong variant will not align correctly. Always tell the breaker your roof height and wheelbase as well as the generation, and confirm the exact match against your registration before purchasing.

The numerical designations on the Sprinter (such as 314, 316, 319) refer to payload and engine output rather than trim levels in the traditional sense, and engine specification has no effect on boot lid fitment whatsoever. What actually determines fitment is the generation, roof height, wheelbase, and whether you have barn doors or a tailgate — none of which vary by engine code. Focus on those body and platform details when speaking to the breaker, and ignore the engine-derived badge entirely.
