I’m going to take it in to the garage but just wondering re a if anyone had an idea on what it could be? Obv sounds like breaks but I mean does it sound like breaks or pads / discs etc? It’s a 21 plate Corsa
Only just started noticing it last couple of days.
Thanks
Yes, most likely the brake pads are worn through or just down to some wear indicators. Only just started noticing it last couple of days.
Thanks
I’ve had a stone caught in the brake before.

See if you can see the pads and discs through the wheels. If you can, you'l see whether they are simply worn out. It would be unusual for a new car to need new brakes at such a young age.
Age? Little or nothing to do with it. Brake useage is what wears brake pads and discs, not the calendar. I hope!

Is that per brake or in total?
Have a look on EuroCarParts. Tap your reg in, confirm, select brake parts. That’ll give you some idea. Then add mark-up and labour. Phone a local independent garage for lower pricing than a main dealer. They’ll know what they’ll charge. We are guessing.
There's a "Just Rolled In" video on YouTube, where the "customer states" that there is a squeak on braking.
The video demonstrates the jacket hung from wire coat hanger above the rear door, hat slid along the handle when braking, and squeaked!
