Cheap Mercedes-Benz Vito Wing Mirror

The Vito has run across three main generations: the first-generation W638 ran from 1996 to 2003, the second-generation W639 ran from 2003 to 2014, and the current third-generation W447 launched in 2014 and is still in production. Wing mirrors are generation-specific, so a W638 mirror will not fit a W639 or W447, and vice versa. Always confirm your generation with your registration plate when requesting quotes from a breaker.

These two years fall across a generation boundary: the 2012 Vito is a second-generation W639, while the 2015 Vito is a third-generation W447, and the two generations use different mirror designs. A mirror from a 2012 W639 is very unlikely to be a direct fit on a 2015 W447, but confirm this with the breaker against your exact registration before purchasing. Do not assume the part will interchange across that 2014 generation change.

For the wing mirror itself, the key fitment factors are the generation and whether you need the nearside (NS, passenger/left) or offside (OS, driver/right) mirror. However, on van variants the wheelbase can vary, and on some configurations the body pillars and door arrangements differ, so it is worth mentioning your door configuration to the breaker when you request a quote. Always confirm fitment against your full registration to be certain.

Trim level does not affect the basic fitment of the mirror housing on the Vito; Pure, Progressive, and Sport variants within the same W447 generation use the same mirror mounting and housing design. However, higher trims may have been fitted from the factory with additional features such as electric folding, heating, or an integrated indicator repeater, so the cosmetic or functional finish of a mirror pulled from a lower-spec van may look or behave differently. Confirm with the breaker whether the specific features on their mirror match what your van requires, as this is a detail that cannot be guaranteed to interchange without checking.

In UK convention, the nearside (NS) is the passenger side, which is the left side of the vehicle as you sit in the driver's seat, and the offside (OS) is the driver's side, which is the right. Wing mirrors are side-specific and are not interchangeable between NS and OS, so make sure you specify the correct side clearly when getting quotes from a breaker. Double-check by looking at the damaged mirror before ordering.

No — whether your Vito is a diesel or petrol, the engine choice has no bearing on wing mirror fitment. What matters for fitment is the generation (W638, W639, or W447), the side required (NS or OS), and for van body styles the door arrangement. Focus on those details when describing your vehicle to a breaker.
