Used Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Bulkhead

The Sprinter has run in three main generations: the first-generation W901–W905 (1995–2006), the second-generation W906 (2006–2018, with a facelift around 2013), and the third-generation W907/W910 (2018–present). The bulkhead is specific to the generation and body configuration, so you must match the correct platform before anything else. A bulkhead from a W906 will not transfer to a W907, and vice versa.

Both 2012 and 2015 fall within the W906 generation (2006–2018), but the W906 received a notable facelift around 2013 which brought pressing changes to various panels. Whether the bulkhead itself was revised across that facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as mid-generation pressing changes are not something we can state with certainty. Name your reg and build date when contacting a breaker so they can cross-reference their stock accurately.

Yes, both matter significantly. The Sprinter is available in short, medium, and long wheelbase variants, and in standard, medium, and high roof configurations, and the bulkhead is tied to these body dimensions. Always tell the breaker your exact wheelbase and roof height alongside your registration to ensure the panel matches your van's structure.

No — the rear aperture and surrounding metalwork are configured differently for barn doors versus a single tailgate, so the two are not interchangeable. This is one of the most important things to confirm when sourcing a used bulkhead, and you should specify to the breaker exactly which rear-door arrangement your van has. Getting this wrong means the panel simply will not fit.

Trim level does not affect bulkhead fitment; the panel is determined by platform, wheelbase, roof height, and door configuration, not by specification level. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as spot-weld positions for trim clips or pre-cut apertures for certain features, but these do not change whether the panel physically fits. Confirm the structural details with the breaker, and trim level can be safely ignored for fitment purposes.

The body style of the donor vehicle matters here, as the bulkhead structure can differ between a panel van and other body styles such as a minibus or chassis-cab built on the same platform. Always tell the breaker what body style both your vehicle and the donor are, rather than relying on generation alone. A breaker familiar with Sprinter stock will be able to confirm whether the pressing from their vehicle crosses to yours.
