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 Citan has two distinct generations: the first-generation W415, built from 2012 to 2021, and the second-generation W420, launched in 2021 onwards. Brake discs are not expected to interchange across this boundary due to changes in the platform and running gear, so if you are sourcing a disc from a different generation, confirm compatibility with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Yes, on vans like the Citan the payload and GVW rating can influence the brake specification, as heavier-rated variants are often fitted with uprated braking components to handle the additional load. The payload rating is shown on the VIN plate inside the vehicle, and you should not rely solely on the model name or van size when sourcing discs. Always give the breaker your registration and confirm the GVW figure so they can match the correct specification.
Larger or more powerful engines in the Citan range can be paired with bigger brake discs than smaller-engined variants, as the braking system is matched to the vehicle's performance and weight. When sourcing a used disc, tell the breaker your engine size as well as your registration to make sure you are getting the correctly sized part.
Trim level alone does not determine brake disc fitment on the Citan — what matters is the generation, engine size, and payload rating rather than trim names like Base or Tourer. You may find cosmetic differences between parts pulled from different trim vehicles, such as surface finish or protective coatings, but the functional disc specification follows the drivetrain and weight rating rather than the trim grade.
A 2019 Citan falls within the first-generation W415 (2012–2021), while a 2022 Citan is second-generation W420 (2021 onwards), so these are different platforms and a direct swap is unlikely to be compatible. You should not assume fitment across this generation boundary — confirm with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing.
No, front and rear brake discs are different parts and are not interchangeable — front discs are generally larger than rears on the Citan, as the front axle carries more of the braking load. When contacting a breaker, make clear whether you need the nearside (NS) or offside (OS) disc and whether it is front or rear, as this will determine the correct part.
