OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — front pads (aftermarket) Brembo P 68 073 / TRW GDB3546 and GDB3396

Accuracy note: Covers the Nissan Micra (K14 2017-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Front brake pads are sold by caliper system (ATE / Teves, TRW / Lucas, Bosch, Akebono, Brembo etc.) and by pad size, and one model usually has two or three pad sizes depending on engine, brake size and trim — a wrong size will not fit the caliper. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand with their width x height x thickness in mm; genuine numbers are shown only where a listing quotes one. Measure the old pad or check the caliper system against your VIN before ordering, and fit a new wear sensor where the set is only 'prepared for' one.

Front brake pads (aftermarket)	Brembo P 68 073 (120 x 55 x 18 mm, acoustic wear warning, CBI, WVA 26188/26189); ATE 13.0460-3890.2 (120.2 x 54.8 x 18.5 mm, not prepared for wear warning); ATE 13.0460-2774.2 (116.3 x 52.4 x 17.4 mm, acoustic, TRW/Lucas/Girling); Textar 2618801 (120.4 x 54.7 x 18.2 mm, CBI system); Ridex 402B0234 (116.5 x 52.6 x 16.6 mm, acoustic); TRW GDB3546 and GDB3396, Ferodo FDB1617, FDB4966 and FDB4069, and Delphi LP3644 and LP1865 are also listed as axle sets.
Pad sizes & variants	Two sizes: about 120 x 55 x 18 mm (CBI calipers) and about 116 x 52.5 x 17 mm (TRW/Lucas/Girling calipers).
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in catalogue listings — order genuine pads against your VIN
Fitment notes	Choose between the 120 mm and 116 mm pad by caliper system. Bosch, Pagid and Mintex do not appear as pad brands.

A Genuine, Well-Documented Fault Worth Knowing About: A Visible Diagnostic Clue — Nissan Micra Brake Pads

If you're hearing a persistent squeal, this is genuinely worth knowing: a documented hardware fault on related models involves the brake pad retaining shims being slightly too long, allowing them to make contact with the disc surface and cause exactly this kind of squeal. A genuinely useful diagnostic clue worth checking directly: examine the disc surface for faint concentric circles or scoring — visible marks carved by the oversized shims rubbing against the disc over time.

A genuinely important safety warning worth knowing before attempting DIY rear pad work: incorrectly retracting an electronic parking brake caliper piston manually, without following the correct procedure, has been documented as capable of causing electronic faults in other, seemingly unrelated systems. Using a proper EPB-compatible diagnostic tool to put the system into service mode first is worth doing rather than improvising.

It's also worth knowing that fitting genuine Nissan pads specifically, rather than a generic aftermarket brand, has been reported by multiple owners as resolving persistent squeals that generic replacements didn't.

Nissan Micra Brake Pads: Brake Pads Are One of the Few Truly Universal Parts

Every version of the Micra uses brake pads that wear down through normal use — the only real variable is how quickly, which depends on engine, trim, and (where fitted) whether the car has any form of regenerative braking to ease the load.

Before you buy: pad size and compound vary by engine and trim. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Nissan Micra Brake Pads: What They Do

Brake pads clamp against the discs to convert the car's momentum into heat, slowing it down. On any version of the Micra with hybrid assistance or regenerative braking, this system handles a meaningful share of everyday slowing, which can genuinely extend pad life compared with a purely petrol or diesel equivalent.

Common Sizes

K13 generation (2010 onwards), front pad, genuine reference	Sized to match the 260mm disc/caliper on this tier. Pad size genuinely scales with engine output and trim on this model, not just the disc diameter — always confirm the exact pad against your VIN rather than assuming from generation alone.
K12 generation (2003-2011), front pads	Genuinely a different, larger pad to match the 260mm disc/caliper on this higher tier — not interchangeable with the standard-tier pad on the same axle.
K11 generation (1993-2003), front pads	Genuinely a different, larger pad to match the 234mm disc/caliper on this higher tier — not interchangeable with the standard-tier pad on the same axle.
K11 generation, rear pads	Sized to match the 240mm disc/caliper on this tier. Pad size genuinely scales with engine output and trim on this model, not just the disc diameter — always confirm the exact pad against your VIN rather than assuming from generation alone.
