Nissan Qashqai Brake Discs Replacement Parts

The second-generation Qashqai (J11) ran from 2014 onwards, so a 2014 and a 2018 are both within the same generation — however, disc size can vary depending on engine size, and there were mid-generation changes that may have affected brake specifications. Name your exact engine size when contacting the breaker and ask them to check the disc diameter and bolt pattern against your registration before buying.

These two cars sit in different generations — the first-generation Qashqai (J10) ran from 2007 to 2013, but the 2013 model year sits right at the end of that run, so you need to confirm whether you have a late J10 or an early J11 second-generation car. Even within the J10 generation, brake disc size varied with engine choice, so give the breaker your full registration to check the exact specification.

Yes — larger-engined Qashqais typically use bigger brake discs than smaller-engined variants, so a disc from a 1.2 or 1.5 dCi model is unlikely to be a direct swap for one from a 1.6 dCi or 2.0-litre car. Always tell the breaker your engine size and confirm the disc diameter matches yours before ordering.

Trim level does not determine brake disc fitment on the Qashqai — what matters is the generation and engine size, not whether the car is a Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta or Tekna. You may notice cosmetic differences on a used disc (surface finish, any branding), but these do not affect whether it fits and works correctly.

Yes, always specify front or rear — front and rear discs are different parts with different diameters and thicknesses, and breakers will need to know which axle you require. Some Qashqai variants, particularly lower-specification or smaller-engined models, may use drum brakes rather than discs at the rear, so confirm with the breaker whether your specific car has rear discs fitted at all.

The rear brake setup in particular can differ between two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive Qashqais, so a disc from one drivetrain layout may not be a straightforward match for the other. Confirm the drivetrain of the donor car with the breaker and cross-check against your registration to make sure the specifications align before purchasing.
