My 2019 Skoda Kodiaq is at 24,000 miles and I've had to replace both the front brake discs and pads, which I consider unacceptable wear. Before the Kodiaq, I owned (from new) an Octavia VRS estate for 4 years and 45,000 miles — during which time I didn't replace any pad pads or brake discs. My driving style and patterns have not changed and I would state, with more commuter traffic, average commuting speeds have reduced. Over the entire period, I have had the same job, the same commute and if anything I would have driven the VRS harder than the Kodiaq. I appreciate the Kodiaq is a bigger, heavier car — however, it's only 152PS.

OEM parts are required for the warranty. The cost of new OEM front discs and pads fitted was just under £500 and if this is considered fair wear and tear after two years, I'm seriously going to have to change cars. I can't afford £500 every two years. Is this acceptable wear and tear on a brand new car or are the OEM parts not at the required quality to provide a reasonable amount of life?
