Used Mercedes-Benz X-Class Seat

The Mercedes-Benz X-Class was only produced from 2017 to 2020, when Mercedes discontinued it, so there is just one generation with no facelift — making it a straightforward single-run model. This means any X-Class seat from that production window is broadly from the same generation, though trim level and side still matter for fitment. Confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

Because the X-Class ran as a single, unfacelifted generation from 2017 to 2020, a seat from a 2017 car is generally from the same design cycle as a 2019 car, so there is no known generation boundary to cross. That said, you must match the trim level and side (NS or OS) as seat styles varied across the range. Always confirm the specific part number with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

Yes, trim level matters for X-Class seats — Pure, Progressive, and Powerful trims came with different seat styles and materials, so a seat pulled from one trim may not match in appearance or mounting even if it physically fits. Where seat construction and fixings differ between trims, you may also find that the seat back, bolsters, or integrated features do not align correctly. Tell the breaker your exact trim as well as your registration so they can source the right seat.

Yes — driver (OS, offside, right-hand) and passenger (NS, nearside, left-hand) seats are handed, so you must specify which side you need when contacting a breaker. Mixing sides will mean the seat does not sit correctly and adjustment mechanisms or any side-bolster airbags will be on the wrong side. Always state your side clearly alongside your registration when getting a quote.

X-Class seats may contain integrated side airbags and pretensioner seat belts, both of which are safety-critical components that are single-use — once deployed in an accident they cannot be relied upon again. You should confirm with the breaker that any seat you are buying has not been involved in a deployment event, and whether its airbag module is compatible with your specific SRS system is something to verify against your registration rather than assume. Professional fitting is strongly recommended for any seat that contains airbag or pretensioner technology.

Because the X-Class had a relatively short production run (2017–2020) and was never a high-volume seller in the UK, supply of used seats from breakers may be more limited than for more common models, so it is worth contacting several breakers or using a marketplace like Findapart to reach multiple dismantlers at once. Make sure you provide your registration, trim level (Pure, Progressive, or Powerful), and the side you need (NS or OS) to get accurate quotes. Acting promptly is sensible given the limited pool of cars being broken.
