I wonder how long said dealer has had the car, if its been stood outside for a couple of months in weather we have had then that might explain why the discs are so corroded,

 

Might find a few 60 to 0 hard stops will clean the surface of the discs up,

 

Do you have any pics of them to post up?????

 

I'd be thinking the same, that or in a compound. Make me wonder if it's been sat with the handbrake jammed on and it's got stuck there. 

Lots of cars sit about in storage yards at docks exposed to all that lovely fresh salt air. Some for months.

If you think it's a safety issue take the car to the dealer and don't drive it away. Make a complaint in writing about this at teh same time to the dealers managing director CC'd to Pug UK. Make it clear to the dealer that this isn't acceptable in a new car and that you expect braking problem to be fixed as a priority or for you to be provided with an equivalent curtesy car or hire car.

 

I'd also make it clear you will be going to trading standards VOSA shortly since you consider the brake problem to be a safety issue.

 

The last bit being a bit of BS but the mention of outside agencies or the press does tend to lubricate the wheels of beaurocracy.

 

I doubt you're in a position to reject just yet. The dealer needs to be given an oppertunity to rectify the faults. But write everything down now just in case.

Thanks for that.

I want to be fair to the dealer and give them a chance to rectify the matter as I could be plesently surprised who knows.

A brake efficiency test was done 2 days ago and showed the brakes were safe however for me the issue is the pitting of the front discs, the bad scoring of the rears and the excessive wearing of the pads. Coupled with a continual low speed grating noise and the issue of the higher speed grating/sticking today I can't see how the dealer can reasonable suggest this is acceptable on a 3 week old car.

Hopefully it will go well in the morning.

Next time you feel it like that, have a look and see if the brake pads are rusted to the discs.

 

It could be that the pad compound is particularly prone to rusting.

If that's the case, then get the dealer to do something about it .
