AI Descriptions
Premium Friendly
Front Brake Pads Worn
Severity: Critical
Technical:
Front brake pad friction material measured at 1.5mm remaining. Minimum specification is 3mm. Uneven wear pattern indicates possible caliper binding. Disc scoring present.
Customer-Friendly:
Your front brake pads have worn below the safe minimum thickness. This means your braking distance will increase, especially in wet conditions. We recommend replacing them to ensure your safety on the road.
