Used Ford Fiesta Wheel Hub

The Ford Fiesta has run through several well-established UK generations: Mk6 (2002–2008), Mk7 (2008–2017, facelifted 2013), and Mk8 (2017–2023). The generation is the most important starting point when sourcing a used wheel hub, as the hub carrier, bearing size, and bolt pattern changed between generations. Always give your exact registration to the breaker so they can confirm the precise build date, especially if you're near a changeover year.

This is a tricky one because 2013 is the facelift year within the Mk7 generation (2008–2017), and while both cars sit within the same generation, some running-gear components were revised at that point. The hub itself may well be the same, but you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assuming it crosses the facelift boundary without issue. A good breaker will check both donor and recipient VINs before supplying the part.

Yes, engine size can matter because larger-engined Fiestas tend to run bigger brakes, and the wheel hub must match the brake setup on your car. For example, a 1.0-litre EcoBoost hub may not be the same as one from a 1.6 ST, which carries uprated brakes. Tell the breaker your engine size and variant alongside your registration so they can match the correct hub to your braking system.

Trim level alone — whether your car is a Zetec, Titanium, Ghia, or similar — does not affect which wheel hub you need, as the hub is determined by generation and engine/brake specification rather than trim. A hub from a Zetec and a Titanium of the same generation and engine size will be functionally identical. The only cosmetic difference you might notice is surface finish or minor markings on the donor part, which won't affect fitment or function.

On the front axle, NS and OS hubs are typically mirror-image parts and are not interchangeable, so always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker. Rear hubs on the Fiesta are generally the same left and right, but it's worth confirming this with the breaker for your specific generation and brake configuration. Getting the side wrong on a front hub can mean the ABS sensor port or brake caliper bracket faces the wrong direction.

These are different generations and the wheel hub is very unlikely to be a straight swap — bolt patterns, bearing sizes, and ABS sensor arrangements changed between the Mk6 and Mk7. You should not assume cross-generation fitment and should always confirm with the breaker against both the donor and recipient registrations. Sourcing from within the correct generation is strongly recommended as the safest starting point.
