Second Hand Mercedes-Benz Vito Boot Lid

No — the three Vito generations are completely different: the W638 ran from 1996 to 2003, the W639 from 2003 to 2014, and the current W447 from 2014 onwards, and none of these tailgates interchange with each other. Within each generation the body panels are unique to that platform, so always source a boot lid matching your generation first. Confirm the exact part with your breaker against your registration before buying.

The W639 received a facelift in 2010, and while the underlying platform is the same, the rear pressing and lamp apertures can differ between pre- and post-facelift vehicles. Name the generation boundary — 2003–2010 versus 2010–2014 — when contacting a breaker, and ask them to confirm whether the tailgate pressing matches your specific van before purchasing. Mid-generation pressing changes are exactly the kind of detail a breaker can check against your registration.

Yes, this is one of the most important fitment questions for any van — barn doors and a single tailgate are entirely different assemblies and will not interchange. If your Vito has a single lift-up tailgate, you need a tailgate; if it has twin barn doors, you need matching barn door panels. Always tell the breaker which configuration your van has, as both options were available on the same generation.

Yes, on vans the wheelbase and roof height can affect the rear aperture and therefore the boot lid or tailgate dimensions, so a Standard Wheelbase and a Long Wheelbase Vito may not share the same tailgate. Tell your breaker your wheelbase variant alongside the generation when requesting a quote. Confirming against your registration is the safest approach here.

Trim level does not affect tailgate fitment on the Vito — a boot lid from a Pro, Tourer, or Sport of the same generation and body configuration will fit the same aperture. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as spoilers, badging, or trim finishers that differ between grades, so factor that in if appearance matters to you. Fitment itself is driven by generation, wheelbase, roof height, and door/barn-door configuration — not trim.

A 2013 Vito is a W639 (built 2003–2014), while a 2015 Vito is a W447 (built 2014 onwards), so these are different generations with completely different body structures and tailgates that will not interchange. You need to source a W639 boot lid to suit your 2013 van. Use your registration when contacting a breaker so they can verify the exact pressing and configuration required.
