My mileage is 13000 in 2 years you would expect the rear discs to last longer than that

Have you got a quote on just parts alone? I think you will be surprised at the cost of parts, assuming that is we are talking OEM Ford?
I brought a set of OEM rear pads for my ST Puma as a spare. They were more than £100 (can't remember exactly the actual price).
I would imagine if changing the discs they would also be fitting a new set of pads regardless of wear? I would never renew a disc set (are they vented?) without a new set of pads. That would be crazy, as with a damaged set of discs the pads will have also received inherent damage.
So maybe the £373 including a set of pads isn't that expensive?
Of course being that they are not covered under warranty, you could perhaps try a local non franchise garage to do the work or maybe if you're a mind renew the disc/pads yourself, using OEM parts or even after market parts.... honestly not too a difficult job.
But hey that is sure low mileage requiring a disc change! Why so I do wonder?

Rear discs scoring and pitting should this be fixed under warranty or will I have to pay
As an aside - all manufacturers are moving away from asbestos in brake pads. I can't help feeling that this part of the issue. They won't last as long as an pad with asbestos in it.

You said it was an "advisory". Some unscrupulous dealers will try and scare you into replacing parts that may last longer than they suggest. Obviously I can't see your discs but I would suggest they may last another 13,000 miles before they need replacing. Perhaps post a few pictures here? Your Puma will need an MOT in 12 months time so get this done at an independent garage and see if they think there is an issue.Bluebrazil wrote: ↑Tue Aug 02, 2022 10:48 am My mileage is 13000 in 2 years you would expect the rear discs to last longer than that
