Worn brake pads most common fault - AA

In a review of 100 cars recently serviced by AA Car Servicing, AA Mechanics can reveal that worn brake pads are the most common vehicle fault detected.
“When a fault is detected during an AA Car service, customers have the option of booking in with us for the follow on repairs, says Noel Keogh, AA Patrol Force Manager. “In the region of a third of the repairs we do relate to significantly worn brake pads.”
In light of these worrying figures, AA Car Servicing is urging motorists from a safety perspective to respond to changes in their vehicle’s braking performance and ensure their brakes are inspected and serviced regularly. It also warns drivers that defective brake components can lead to reduced braking power, increased stopping distances, skidding and in the worst cases, brake failure.
