Second Hand Fiat Multipla Wheel Hub

The Fiat Multipla ran from 1999 to 2010 in the UK, with a significant facelift in 2004 that changed the front styling; running gear including wheel hubs can differ between the pre-facelift (1999–2004) and post-facelift (2004–2010) cars. Always confirm the exact year of both the donor and your own car with the breaker against your registration plate to avoid getting the wrong hub. The generation boundary at 2004 is the key thing to flag when asking for a quote.

The 2004 facelift is a known boundary on the Multipla, and whether a hub from a pre-facelift car crosses safely onto a post-facelift one is not something to assume — confirm this directly with the breaker against both registrations. Running gear can be carried over across facelifts, but brake and hub specifications sometimes change at these points. Don't fit a hub on the assumption it looks the same without that check.

Yes, engine size can matter because larger-engined variants sometimes run bigger brakes, and the hub has to match the brake setup on your car. The Multipla was offered with a range of petrol and diesel engines, so if you're replacing a hub on a 1.9 JTD diesel it may not be the same spec as one from a 1.6 petrol. Tell the breaker your exact engine code and displacement alongside your registration to make sure they pull the right hub.

For front hubs in particular, left (nearside, NS) and right (offside, OS) units can differ due to the stub axle and bearing arrangement, so always specify the side you need. Even if the hubs look identical, fitting the wrong side risks incorrect brake and bearing geometry. Tell the breaker clearly whether you need NS (passenger side) or OS (driver side) when you request a quote.

Trim level alone — whether you have an Active, ELX, or another grade — does not affect wheel hub fitment, as the hubs are determined by the mechanical specification rather than the interior or badge. What does matter is the engine size and whether your car has any brake upgrade compared to the standard setup for that year, so focus on those details rather than the trim name. Bear in mind that a hub from a different trim car might arrive with different painted or finished components cosmetically, but the fitment decision should be based on mechanical spec confirmed with the breaker.

Even within the same generation, hubs can vary if the car has a different engine or brake package, so a like-for-like match on year alone is not enough. Confirm your engine size, the exact year of your car, and the side needed with the breaker, who can cross-reference the part numbers against your registration. This is the safest route on a model like the Multipla where mechanical variants exist across what looks like a single generation.
