Fitment on a used cv joints varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
Yes, the MiTo is a front-wheel-drive car, so it uses CV (constant velocity) joints on both front driveshafts to transfer drive from the gearbox to the front wheels. Every MiTo variant — regardless of engine size or trim — will have CV joints as part of its front drivetrain. If you are hearing a clicking noise on full lock or a clunking under acceleration, a worn CV joint or CV boot is a common cause.
The MiTo was produced from 2008 and received a facelift in 2013, running through to around 2018 when UK sales ended. The front suspension and drivetrain architecture was carried over into the facelift, so there is a reasonable chance of crossover, but whether a specific driveshaft or CV joint from a pre-facelift car fits a post-facelift car should be confirmed with the breaker against your exact registration before purchasing.
Engine size can influence driveshaft and CV joint specification because higher-torque engines sometimes use heavier-duty components to handle the additional power. On the MiTo, the range spanned from the 1.4 petrol through to the turbocharged 1.4 MultiAir and the 1.6 JTDM diesel, so it is worth giving the breaker your exact engine code and registration to make sure you get the correct joint for your variant rather than assuming all engines share the same parts.
Yes, always specify the side when enquiring about a CV joint — nearside (NS) is the left side of the car as you sit in the driver's seat, and offside (OS) is the right. Left and right driveshafts on the MiTo are different lengths because the gearbox is offset within the engine bay, so the parts are not interchangeable between sides. Getting the wrong side from the breaker is a common and avoidable mistake.
Trim level — whether your MiTo is a base, Distinctive, Veloce, or Lusso — does not affect CV joint specification, as these are mechanical drivetrain components rather than cosmetic ones. What matters is the engine variant and which side you need, not the interior or exterior trim package. You can source the joint from any MiTo of the same engine type and generation without worrying about trim differences.
The MiTo and Giulietta are different platforms with different driveshaft and CV joint dimensions, so parts are not directly interchangeable between models even though they share some engineering heritage. Always cross-reference the part number or give the breaker both registrations if you are trying to source across models. A reputable breaker will be able to check compatibility before dispatch.
