Rear discs have corroded on my Maserati Levante - is this normal wear and tear?
The rear discs on my Maserati Levante Q4 Super Sport have corroded badly after three years/24,000 miles of normal road use/driving, from new. This seems excessive to me. Never had this problem before and the fronts are pristine. Is this within normal wear and tear for this vehicle? The vehicle is out of warranty period by two months.

Worth sending a nice letter to see if they'll replace them as a goodwill gesture. Legally, you'd have difficulty arguing your case, you'd have to prove the premature wear isn't down to heavy use or the conditions the car has been used in i.e. salty roads, lots of short journeys with numerous hot-cold heat cycles.
