What to check when buying a used Ford Ka brake caliper
A used brake caliper that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
- State whether it's front or rear, left or right

Fitment questions
Do Ford Ka brake calipers actually exist, or does the Ka use a different system?
Yes, the Ford Ka does have brake calipers — on the front axle at least, where it uses a conventional disc-and-caliper setup throughout its production run. The rear brakes on most Ka variants are drum brakes, meaning there is no rear caliper to source; if you need a rear brake component, you are most likely looking for a wheel cylinder rather than a caliper. Confirm front or rear when requesting a quote from a breaker.
Will a caliper from a Mk1 Ka (1996–2008) fit my Mk2 Ka (2008–2016)?
The Mk1 Ka ran from 1996 to 2008 and the Mk2 (based on the Fiat 500 platform) launched for 2008, and these two generations are completely different cars with different suspension and braking architecture. A caliper from the Mk1 will not cross over to the Mk2, so always make sure the breaker is supplying a part from the correct generation for your registration. Do not assume any cross-generation interchange.
Does it matter whether my Ka is a 1.0 or 1.3 when buying a front caliper?
Engine size can influence brake specification, so a caliper from a 1.0 Ka may not be identical to one from a 1.3 Ka even within the same generation. Always give the breaker your exact engine size alongside the registration so they can match the correct caliper. Never assume the smallest and largest engine variants share the same braking hardware.
My Ka is a Zetec — does the trim level affect which caliper I need?
Trim level alone, such as Studio, Zetec, or Titanium on the Mk2, does not determine the brake caliper fitted — what matters is the generation and engine size. You should not be charged more or less based on trim, and there are no cosmetic differences between calipers across trim lines. Confirm engine size and year with the breaker and you should be fine.
I have a 2007 Ka and a friend has a 2009 Ka — can we swap calipers between them?
2007 falls in the Mk1 generation (1996–2008) and 2009 falls in the Mk2 (2008–2016), so these are different platform cars and the calipers are almost certainly not interchangeable. Even if they looked similar, the hub and carrier geometry differ between the two generations. Confirm this with a breaker against both registrations before purchasing.
Does it matter whether I need the nearside or offside caliper when ordering?
Yes — front calipers are handed, meaning the nearside (NS, left) and offside (OS, right) are mirror-image parts and not interchangeable. Always specify NS or OS clearly when contacting a breaker, and if possible confirm by checking the bleed nipple position on your existing caliper. Ordering the wrong side is one of the most common fitment mistakes on this part.
