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:
No — these are completely different generations. The 2005 car is a W169 (second-gen, 2004–2012) and the 2012 car could be either a late W169 or the newer W176 (third-gen, launched late 2012), which has a larger, heavier bodyshell with different hub and disc specifications. Confirm the exact generation with the breaker against your registration before ordering.
These are separate generations — the W176 ran from 2012 to 2018 and the W177 launched in 2018 — and the running gear dimensions changed between them, so discs are not a straight swap. Even if the visual size looks similar, the hub bore, venting, and fixing arrangements can differ. Always confirm compatibility with the breaker using both registrations.
Yes, it can — Mercedes-Benz typically fits larger, heavier-duty discs to higher-powered engines across all generations of the A-Class, because greater power demands stronger stopping ability. An A180 and an A250 from the same W176 generation may carry different disc diameters front and rear. Tell the breaker your exact engine variant as well as the year so they can match the correct disc size.
Trim level alone does not change brake disc fitment — what matters is the engine size and generation, not whether your car is SE, Sport, AMG Line, or Executive. You may notice cosmetic differences on parts sourced from AMG Line cars, such as different caliper colours, but the disc itself is determined by the mechanical spec. Focus on confirming the engine size and generation with the breaker rather than the trim badge.
Yes, absolutely — front and rear brake discs on the A-Class are different sizes and are not interchangeable, so you must specify which axle you need. Front discs are generally larger to handle the majority of braking load, while rears are smaller. Give the breaker your registration, engine variant, and whether you need front or rear to avoid getting the wrong part.
The W176 generation ran from 2012 to 2018, and it is possible that brake specifications varied within that production run, particularly if Mercedes-Benz made running changes or if your car has a different engine variant to the one you are comparing it against. Whether a specific mid-generation upgrade affects your car is something we cannot confirm as fact here. Check with the breaker against both registrations to make sure the disc dimensions and hub fitment genuinely match before purchasing.
