Bentley Carbon Ceramic brakes

Hi All just joined this group. quick question
my Bentayga S is in for 2nd year service, approx 14000 miles and I'm told I need a new set of front and rear brakes. I think the mileage is pretty low for a replacement requirement and would appreciate any feedback. It's only driven on local roads, no track days.

thanks in advance

I'd get a second opinion and look at them myself. For both front & rear to be gone in 14,000 miles sounds impossible unless you use the brake pedal as a foot rest while driving.

Replacement of carbon ceramics at 14k miles is suspect. These should last well over 100k miles with normal use.

Absolutely insist they give you the old ones. I suggest, in my opinion, that there is probably nothing wrong with them and by the end of the month they will be fitted to a private vehicle. Warranty replace them for you and some lucky person gets your perfectly good discs at mates rates. (All my own personal opinion and based on no legal or other wise evidence.)
