Axles/Differentials

My Jimny is from 2005. It has M13a VVT engine, R72 gearbox, ABS etc..
Can I fit axles/differentials from a donor Jimny from all year between 1998-2018 or just 2005 and later years? Can I use axle without ABS? Would it pass MOT?
Sorry for my daft questions.

Ideally you are better off with abs axles on an abs car as it's one of the few driving aids actually worth having. Also for the mot it's possible to remove the abs system completely and not get a failure but to have a constant abs warning light on is a failure. There is also the insurance cot notify who will undoubtedly increase the premium.

My current understanding of this subject based on what I could read here and heard from others:

Casing had been made either with ABS or without ABS in the past. I should fit only casing with ABS that's for sure.
After about 2004-2005 the engine was made either M13A non-VVT or M13A VVT.
All (M13A) casing size the same but non-VVT has different ratios. What does it mean? Lower or higher?
And what about axles made before 2004? Was all of them wihout ABS therefore those aren't for me?
How many different variant of axle can be found out there? Four or even more? I just cannot get it...
Educate me please...I feel confused.

I realise that doesnt answer your question. Basically anything in the UK with ABS would have suitable donor axle casing from 2001 onwards.
To be certain I would ask for one from a hard top M13 engine'd model.

The question nobody has asked yet is what are you hoping to achieve? Are you just looking to replace a damaged axle or are you looking to alter the gearing?
If its the gearing you seek to change you only need to swap the diffs, not the entire axle. All the diffs are interchangeable, so you could buy some '98 diffs and fit them in a 2017 Jimny and vise versa.
