Good prices there. Since my discs and pads replaced almost a year ago now an added bonus is that the wheels stay much cleaner, and the brake dust is not so rusty red. Braking effectiveness, dry or wet not at all degraded. Win, win.

Reading around these forums a bit more I am amazed how common these disc quality issues are. Wondering how it may have contributed to accidents over the years. Cost to produce clearly more important, and it all makes work for the dealerships! Would not happen on a bike. Discs too visible to get away with it.

Thanks for the comments chaps. I agree that even if the brakes may not fail on performance check as performance not massively degraded, there is a problem that is best fixed for peace of mind and ultimate safety. It is quite alarming to hear that the quality of the original type disc may be suspect. My hunch is that there was a manufacturing issue with the disc and a section de-laminated. I guess the general rusted /corroded surface has resulted from fairly gentle use to date (hopefully not stuck shoes). I intend to book the car in to be sorted prior to the test at a small garage I have used before and insist they do not use original parts.

The rear discs do not have an even smooth clean appearance. The nearside especially shows much corrosion and examination shows a significant pit in one place. The braking performance of the car has remained notable good. Picture attached attempts to show the problem. As road performance is unaffected is this likely to be an MoT failure or just a quirk to live with?

Hi all, enjoying my 2020 Scala, up for its first MoT next month. My wife drives it more regularly than me, but I tend to major on longer trips together. I also have one modern and a classic motorcycle. Scala has only recently reached 20 k miles and has been no trouble at all. Best feature is indicated 60 mpg on decent trips, beating the 800 cc Triumph bike, although the old BSA will give up to 70 mpg on a good day. I am amazed that I have not seen more Scalas on the road. This forum has already proved very useful to me for the downloads and servicing information. I found it surprising that not service book was included and the dealer seems very cagey about service tasks. Will be going to an independent for the MoT and future servicing I can't do myself. The Fabia we ran previously was easy enough to maintain.
