Used brake discss vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Ford Ka uses disc brakes on the front axle and drum brakes on the rear across all generations, so front brake discs do genuinely exist on this model. If you need rear brake discs, the Ka does not have them — the rear setup is drums throughout, so you would be looking for rear brake drums instead. Make sure you specify front discs when requesting a quote from a breaker.
The Mk1 Ka ran from 1996 to 2008 on a platform shared with the older Fiesta, while the Mk2 Ka launched in 2008 on a Fiat 500 platform — these are fundamentally different cars and the front brake discs are not interchangeable between generations. Always tell the breaker which generation you have, ideally confirmed by your registration, so they can pull the correct disc.
On the Mk1 Ka the range was narrow — predominantly 1.3 petrol — so disc size variation is minimal, but on the Mk2 Ka the 1.2 and 1.3 engines were offered and there can be differences in disc dimensions between them. Always confirm your engine size with the breaker alongside your registration to make sure you get the correctly sized disc for your variant.
Trim level alone does not affect brake disc fitment on the Ford Ka — the discs are determined by generation and engine size, not whether the car is a Studio, Style, or Titanium. You may find cosmetic differences on parts surrounding the brakes depending on trim, but the disc itself should correspond to the mechanical specification rather than the trim name.
The Mk2 Ka ran from 2008 to 2016 and there were no major generation breaks, but mid-generation specification changes can sometimes affect brake components, and this is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assume interchangeability. Give the breaker both the donor year and your car's registration so they can cross-reference the part numbers before you commit.
Front brake discs on the Ford Ka are typically the same part on both sides, as the front suspension layout uses the same disc across the axle — but it is always worth confirming this with the breaker, as there can occasionally be specification variants. Either way, tell the breaker which side you are replacing so they can verify before supplying the part.
