A used door hinge 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:
The Ford Ka ran across two distinct generations: the original Mk1 (1996–2008) and the Mk2 (2008–2016), which was a completely different platform, so hinges from a Mk1 will not fit a Mk2 or vice versa. Within each generation, confirm the exact year with the breaker against your registration, as there may be detail changes across the production run. Always cross-reference your reg when getting a quote.
Yes, side matters – a nearside (NS, passenger/left) hinge and an offside (OS, driver/right) hinge are mirror images of each other and are not interchangeable. When requesting quotes on Findapart, make sure you specify NS or OS clearly so breakers can pull the correct part. Fitting the wrong side will mean the door does not hang correctly.
The original Mk1 Ford Ka was a 3-door only, and the Mk2 was also produced solely as a 3-door hatchback, so there is no 3-door versus 5-door complication with this model. You simply need to confirm the generation (Mk1 1996–2008 or Mk2 2008–2016) and the side (NS or OS) to identify the right hinge.
Trim level does not affect door hinge fitment on the Ford Ka – the hinge is part of the body structure and is the same across Studio, Zetec, Grand Prix, and other trim variants within the same generation. You may find cosmetic differences such as paint colour on the hinge face, but that does not affect whether it will fit, and it can be resprayed if needed. Focus on generation and side (NS/OS) when sourcing from a breaker.
No – 2007 falls within the Mk1 generation (1996–2008) and 2009 falls within the Mk2 generation (2008–2016), which was built on an entirely different platform derived from the Fiat 500, so the hinges are not compatible. You need a hinge specifically from within the Mk2 range for a 2009 car; confirm this with the breaker against your registration to make sure they match on detail as well as generation.
The Ford Ka was a popular and long-running model, so used hinges are reasonably common at UK breakers, particularly for the Mk1. When contacting a breaker through Findapart, tell them your full registration, the generation (Mk1 1996–2008 or Mk2 2008–2016), whether you need the upper or lower hinge (doors typically have two), and whether it is nearside (NS) or offside (OS). The breaker can then verify the part against your reg before you commit.
