I am currently driving a Cupra Ateca TSI VZ3, in black, On a 23 plate.
before that had a Leon Cupra estate 280bhp

I will upload a couple when I can.
I have a question can you help me?

my mileage is 17,000 and the brake warning light came on, i called cupra assist and they sent out the mechanic he looked at the breaks and told me I need new discs and pads on the front, Is it usual for them to both go with such low milage?
I never had them go on any car before with such low milage.

Cool. I'm not sure on the brakes and pads, I'm not that mechanically minded. However it will depend how hard the car has been driven and it's a powerful car that's not light weight so 17,000 isn't bad going certainly for the pads if they are still original. It's worth checkout out our CUPRA Ateca sub forum to see how others have got on.

I had over 34,000 miles on my hard driven SEAT leon Cupra 280 and the disks and pads were still original, when I traded it in.

I Have discussed with my garage where I got the car saying that if they are going that quick there must be something wrong with them.
the garage confirmed that Cupra knows there is a problem and that the breaks and discs are wearing through very quickly.
they agreed to pay 90% of the disk and pad change on this occasion.
So it may be worth seeing if you can get the same at your garage, I have asked them to explain what will happen going forward and I am waiting for a reply.
