Thank you for your slant on this. But I have used this car each day for sometime only short runs and occasionally 200 plus mile runs, but my wife's Toyota completes only 1000 miles a year and is used about once a week,discs perfect now 8 year old without any replacement disc. my grip is that Skoda say it's because I live on the coast! when many others have similar problems in various locations all over the UK.

Yes this is my Skoda Superb Model Purchased 04/01/2016 Milage July 2017 ONLY 8566 MILES AND ONLY 18 MONTHS OLD Purchase price £24,000 DEALERSHIP SIMPSONS SKODA PRESTON LANCASHIRE ENGLAND. Today THE BRAKES DISCS ON ALL FOUR WHEELS NEED TO BE REPLACED ALSO BRAKE PADS HAVE DETERIORATED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. NO WARRANTY CLAIM POSSIBLE ON BRAKES AFTER SIX THOUSAND MILES OR SIX MONTHS SKODA DEALERS ADVISE ME. THE QUOTED COST OF REPLACEMENT IS £650. NO COURTESY CAR AVAILABLE 5 WEEKS. The reason Skoda give me is " OUTSIDE INFLUENCES " when asked what's this means They Say the Weather. Because I live by the coast ( Not on the Coast) the salt air will lie on the discs and ingress into the metal. That makes them disintegrate QUICKLY and corrosion OF THE DISC AND PADS takes place. THERE ARE OTHER REPORTED CASES OF THIS DETERIORATION ON A WEBSITE CALLED "BRISKODA " WITHE EVEN LESS MILEAGE THAN MY CAR. So if you own a Skoda and live near the Seaside you cannot take it out if it's Windy-Raining -Snowing or if the Roads have been Gritted , so this would be the same all over the Uk and Europe in winter or summer. Please do not buy a New Skoda if you live near the coast unless you are prepared to spend about £650 every 18 months. The metal on these vehicles is Not Fit For Purpose. I have purchased a NEW Car every 2 to 3 years for the Past 50 years all makes and NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A BRAKE DISC BEFORE . MY FIRST AND LAST SKODA
