VW 142 point check - Brake pads

[MrTickle]

Does anyone happen to know what the minimum thickness of the brake pads is supposed to be for a approved used car?

I very much doubt anything is specified anywhere.
It will go something like this.

Service dept: Car xyz needs new pads
Sales manager: Is the light on
Service dept: Not yet but they are low
Sales manager: Forget it

[MrTickle]

yep - it looks like that is what happened

Porsche and VW USA I notice state if over 50% worn, to replace as part of the approved used program. I guess that is not the case for VW UK then!

Why don't you go back, play your face a bit. They may play ball, or at least make a contribution.

Approved used car programs are a bit of a st marketing ploy.
