Dealer scam?

[SV650rules]

The ratio of pads to discs on cars is normally new discs every two sets of pads, never mind the 'lipped disc' corrosion on the unswept area at edge can make the lip grow so it looks like the disc is more worn than it is, the only true test is to measure the disc on the swept area and see if it is near or below the minimum recommended thickness. Brake fluid should be replaced about every 4 years IMHO, it does absorb moisture, which can cause corrosion and premature 'boiling' of fluid under heavy and sustained braking (eg. freewheeling down mount Everest). Modern brake systems are sealed pretty well to stop moisture ingress, and modern fluids are more resistant to absorbing water than they used to be.

I think this is a classic case of a scam on a woman driver, I have seen this happen when my wifes car goes into for work, but not nearly as much with me.

Now let's think, Ford finance plan, Ford dealer advising work on the car before it gets handed back in September - seems like they want to have their cake and eat it.

Just look at it
If its got more 2.0 mm of friction material left leave it.
1.5 mm min for mot.
The sales man won't care if you have new or just good enough for the mot.
They need to sell cars to earn money.
