| Disc sizes & variants | 258 mm vented front discs in two thicknesses (22 mm early type and 23 mm later type) for the standard 1.25, 1.4, 1.6 and TDCi cars; 278 x 23 mm vented front discs for the higher-output models such as the 1.6 EcoBoost ST and sportier trims. Rear discs are 253 x 10 mm solid where fitted. 262 x 23 mm vented is the standard front disc for the 1.0 EcoBoost and 1.1 cars; 278 x 23 mm vented is fitted to the higher-output EcoBoost, ST-Line and ST-type cars. Rear discs are 253 x 12 mm solid. |
| Genuine (OE) numbers quoted | None quoted in catalogue listings — order genuine discs against your VIN |
| Fitment notes | Check whether your car has the 22 mm or 23 mm 258 mm disc before ordering; minimum thickness is 20 mm (22 mm disc) or 21 mm (23 mm and 278 mm discs). All front discs use the 4-stud 108 mm pattern. Both front sizes share a 23 mm thickness and a 21 mm minimum, so diameter alone identifies the fitment; all use the 4-stud 108 mm pattern. |
Corrosion, Not Just Mileage, Is Often the Real Reason Discs Get Replaced
A genuine, recurring pattern reported by Fiesta owners and independent garages alike: discs on cars covering relatively modest mileage — some reports around 50,000 miles — needed replacing purely due to corrosion rather than reaching the end of their genuine wear life. This tends to affect cars that see a lot of stop-start, low-speed driving or that have spent time in wetter, more heavily salted regions, since rust has more opportunity to take hold when the discs aren't being cleaned by regular, harder braking. One widely repeated rule of thumb among independent garages: expect discs to need replacing roughly every 3-4 sets of pads on a typical Fiesta — corrosion, more than raw mileage, is usually what determines whether that estimate holds or the discs last considerably longer.

On the Ford Fiesta, because discs and pads wear as a pair, neglecting one speeds up wear on the other — which explains why a routine pad change so often turns up discs that are further gone than expected.

Ford Fiesta Brake Discs: What They Do
Brake discs provide the surface the brake pads clamp against to slow the car, converting momentum into heat through friction. Larger, sportier trims of the Fiesta typically use bigger discs than standard versions to handle the additional heat generated by more aggressive braking.
