Asked by Ranjan Mallawa
MY DEALER has told me that I have to replace the front discs as well as the pads on my two-year-old Peugeot 407 as they are also worn out. Because it has only done 29,999 km I thought it should be done under warranty, but that was rejected because the discs are not covered. Is it normal for discs to wear out at such low kilometres, and should they be replaced under warranty?
Answered by CarsGuide
5 Mar 2010It's not unusual for discs to need replacing at that sort of distance, particularly on European cars that tend to wear discs more quickly than cars from other parts of the car-making world. Making a claim against Peugeot is difficult, because brake pads and discs are not covered by the warranty, they are considered consumables, so you have to make a case for the wear you have experienced being excessive. While it's very frustrating to have to pay to replace the discs so early, there's no benchmark to say the wear is not within the bounds of being normal.
