Fitment questions
Does the Mercedes-Benz V-Class actually have a bonnet strut, or does it use a bonnet prop rod?
The V-Class does have a conventional bonnet that opens at the front, and it is supported by gas struts rather than a prop rod, so bonnet struts are a genuine part on this model. This applies across all V-Class generations, so you can search for them with confidence.
Will a bonnet strut from a pre-2019 W447 V-Class fit my post-2019 facelifted model?
The W447 V-Class ran from 2014, with a facelift arriving in 2019 that brought revised front-end styling including a new grille and bumper. The bonnet itself may differ between the pre- and post-facelift cars, which would affect whether the strut mounting points and travel are compatible, so you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before buying. Don't assume a pre-2019 strut will swap straight in without that check.
Does it matter whether my V-Class is a long-wheelbase or extra-long-wheelbase when buying a used bonnet strut?
No — the bonnet and its struts are part of the front-end structure, which is shared across wheelbase variants within the same generation. A strut from a standard-wheelbase W447 should correspond to one from a long-wheelbase car of the same facelift period, so wheelbase is not something you need to worry about when searching.
Does the trim level affect which bonnet strut I need — for example, Sport, AMG Line, or Marco Polo?
Trim level does not affect bonnet strut fitment on the V-Class; the front-end structure and bonnet assembly are the same regardless of whether the car is a base Sport, AMG Line, or a Marco Polo camper conversion. The only real differences between trims at the front end are cosmetic items like grille inserts and badges, none of which affect the strut itself. Any breaker quoting a strut from the correct generation and facelift period should be suitable regardless of the donor vehicle's trim level.
I have a 2016 V-Class W447 — will a strut from a 2014 or 2015 car fit?
The W447 generation launched in 2014 and all pre-facelift cars up to 2019 share the same front-end design, so a bonnet strut from a 2014 or 2015 car should correspond to your 2016 model. It's still worth asking the breaker to cross-reference your registration to confirm, as minor running changes can occasionally affect gas strut specifications. This is a straightforward match in principle, but the breaker check is a sensible final step.
Does the engine make a difference when buying a used bonnet strut for a V-Class?
No — the bonnet strut on the V-Class is not engine-specific; all V-Class variants share the same bonnet and strut arrangement regardless of whether the car has a 2.0-litre diesel or any other engine option. The key factors to get right are generation (W447) and whether the car is pre- or post-2019 facelift, not the engine fitted beneath the bonnet.
