If it was a rental or employee's 'perk' car it could easily have sat in a compound for 6 or more months after defleet, if it got parked up ar this time of year road salt would bake into the discs and calipers during the summer and could well explain the discs all being shot.

A bush or bearing could go in that mileage, depending on the road surfaces the car was used on, son's CRV a rear bearing was rumbling at 30k requiring renewal.

Doesn't the genuine mileage register on the car's ECU these days, should be readable by the main dealer if you are worried it might have been clocked.

Some naughty so and so’s have the mileage altered to keep within the terms of the lease but you’ll usually find the service history is conveniently lost.

I thought all service history for franchised dealers went onto their national database ? That used to happen for Pugs decades ago ?

Hi all just to update, the lights got sorted. They said they were not going to do it under warranty so I phoned the finance company and said I was rejecting it, phoned Arnold clark and told them that, and that I was on the way with the keys to drop the car off to them. Within 5 mins the service manager calls me and says the parts have been ordered! The aircon still isn't working, they said the gassed it but even though I told them the compressor was out but I'll deal with that after lockdown

I also said to Arnold Clark service manager that it's pretty disappointing I had to reject the car for them to honor a warranty they gave me in the first place!

Also, the mileage is definitely genuine.
