Brakes
Wof time, well last year failed on annual inspection had to have disks skimmed and new pads,
I don’t do big miles as it’s my weekend escape car, failed this year as brakes at 40 percent and needs to be above 50, they put copper on the pads but didn’t make a difference .
they bled the brakes as well …what do I look for next is likely the master cylinder ?
and if yiu want a laugh they also failed it on not having a headliner ( could be sharp metal in the roof ) and recovery hooks attached to a metal bracket that’s welded in, will cost me 500 nz plus tax for a engineer to inspect the weld…plus garage bill

@Wheelspin that is really heavy wear, do you tow anything or load really heavy. It takes me 3 years to get that much wear, I do about 10 to 20 thousand K a year
Parts from the dealer are ridiculously expensive. I’m in Canada and I order a lot of my parts from England. Shipping is likely more expensive to your location but probably still well worth it.
As far as brake wear, it does depend hugely on where and how you drive. My RR had previously come from North Vancouver where the streets are all very steep and very long. I’m sure the PO’s must have left the vehicle in Drive and rode the brakes down all the hills, as they didn’t get very much life out of their brakes.

I don’t think it’s wear related, it’s been put on a scanner and apparently hard codes for ace pump, I mentioned the pumps only 3 years old
or it could be booster or master cylinder leaking…
cars lol
