No: the V-Class has run across three distinct generations – the W638 (1996–2003), the W639 (2004–2014), and the W447 (2014–present) – and the bulkhead is a major structural pressing that is unique to each platform, so parts do not cross between them. If your vehicle sits right at a generation boundary, confirm the exact chassis code with the breaker against your registration before ordering.
Yes, wheelbase is one of the most important factors for a van-based vehicle like the V-Class: the W447 generation is available in standard, long (L2), and extra-long (L3) wheelbases, and the bulkhead pressing differs accordingly. Always tell the breaker your exact wheelbase or let them check your registration, as fitting the wrong length can mean mounting points simply do not align.
The bulkhead itself sits at the front of the load area and its core pressing is generally not altered by roof height on the V-Class, but confirm this with the breaker against your registration because upper fixings and any reinforcement flanges can vary between standard and high-roof bodywork. Do not assume it is identical without the breaker checking both donor and recipient specs.
Trim level – whether Sport, AMG Line, Marco Polo, or any other designation – does not determine which bulkhead pressing is used; fitment is driven by generation, wheelbase, and body configuration, not specification grade. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as insulation materials or bracket arrangements between high-spec and entry variants, so mention your trim to the breaker so they can flag anything like that.
The W447 generation launched in 2014, overlapping with the final months of W639 production, so a 2014 registration could belong to either generation. Check your VIN or ask the breaker to run your registration before sourcing a bulkhead, as the two platforms are completely different and parts will not interchange.
The rear-door configuration – barn doors versus a tailgate – can influence the rear body structure and related pressing details, so it is worth mentioning to the breaker when sourcing a bulkhead even though the bulkhead primarily divides the cab from the load area. Confirm with the breaker against your registration that the donor vehicle matches your setup to avoid any unexpected differences in mounting points or flanges.
