Nissan X-Trail Brake Caliper Replacement Parts

No, these are from different generations — the T31 (2007–2013) and the T32 (2014–2022) — and the brake calipers are not interchangeable between them. Make sure you source a caliper from the correct generation for your car. Always confirm fitment with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.

All Nissan X-Trail variants use disc brakes with calipers at the front, and the vast majority of X-Trail models also have disc brakes with calipers at the rear as well. Drum rear brakes were not a feature of this model in the UK market, so a brake caliper is a genuine part you need to source. Confirm front or rear when contacting a breaker, and specify your registration so they can match the correct unit.

Trim level does not affect which brake caliper fits — the differences between Visia, Acenta, and Tekna are largely cosmetic and interior-focused, not related to braking hardware. What matters more is the generation (T30 2001–2006, T31 2007–2013, or T32 2014–2022) and the engine size, as larger engines in the T32 range in particular can carry uprated brakes. Confirm the exact spec with the breaker using your registration number to be sure.

Yes, engine size can influence brake specification — larger or more powerful engines sometimes use bigger brake assemblies with different calipers to those on lower-powered variants within the same generation. This is particularly relevant in the T32 generation, which was offered with a range of petrol and diesel engines of differing outputs. Always quote your engine size and registration to the breaker so they can supply the correct caliper.

The T31 X-Trail ran from 2007 to 2013 and received a facelift during that period, though the changes were primarily cosmetic. Whether any brake specification changed across that facelift boundary is something you should confirm directly with the breaker against your registration, as mid-generation brake upgrades are not something we can state as fact. A good breaker will be able to cross-reference your reg to the exact caliper required.

Yes, it matters — brake calipers are handed, meaning the nearside (NS, left) and offside (OS, right) calipers are different parts and are not interchangeable. When contacting a breaker, specify clearly whether you need the nearside or offside caliper, and whether it is front or rear, along with your registration number. Supplying the wrong side is a common and easily avoided mistake, so double-check before placing an order.
