Second Hand Mercedes-Benz X-Class Engine Mount

Yes, the X-Class (built 2017–2020) has engine mounts – it is a body-on-frame pickup truck built on the Nissan Navara NP300 platform and fitted with either a 2.3-litre diesel (shared with Nissan) or a Mercedes 3.0-litre V6 diesel, all of which use conventional rubber engine mounts to locate the engine in the chassis. Every variant, from entry-level Pure to the top-spec V6 Power, will have engine mounts. The specific mount design and fixings can differ between the four-cylinder and the six-cylinder engines, so the engine code is the key detail to match.

The X-Class ran as a single generation from 2017 to 2020 with no significant facelift, so the platform and engine family remained consistent throughout. That said, whether a mount from an early 2017 car physically swaps directly onto a 2019 car depends on your engine code – a four-cylinder 2.3 (engine codes OM626 family, shared with Nissan) and a 3.0 V6 (OM642) use different mounts entirely. Confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and supply it to the breaker before ordering.

Engine code matters far more than year for this part, because the X-Class was offered with two distinct engine families – the 2.3-litre four-cylinder diesel and the 3.0-litre V6 diesel – and each has its own mount design and geometry. Matching year alone could easily result in being sent a mount for the wrong engine. Pull the engine code from your V5 logbook or run a VIN check, and give that code to the breaker alongside the year.

No – the trim level (Pure, Progressive, or Power) has no bearing on which engine mount you need, as trim only affects interior specification, equipment, and cosmetic features rather than the engine or its mounting. What determines fitment is the engine fitted to that trim: some trims were only offered with the four-cylinder, while the V6 was exclusive to the top Power grade, so engine code and fuel type are what the breaker needs. Specify your engine code and the breaker will be able to match the correct mount regardless of trim name.

The X-Class shares its platform and the 2.3-litre diesel engine family with the Nissan Navara NP300, and there is known parts commonality between the two vehicles in drivetrain components. However, Mercedes-Benz made engineering changes during the development of the X-Class, and mounting points or ancillary brackets may differ in detail. Confirm the exact part number cross-reference with your breaker against your registration before assuming a Navara mount will drop straight in.

Engine mounts can wear unevenly, but which positions and how many are fitted varies between the four-cylinder and V6 engine installations in the X-Class. Your breaker will be able to tell you how many mounts are present in your specific engine bay layout once you supply your engine code and registration. It is good practice to check the condition of all mounts while the engine is raised, but there is no universal rule that all must be replaced at once – that is a decision best made in consultation with your fitting garage.
