Clutch wear

[blaineuk]

Is this normal wear for a car done18000 miles, and less than 3 years old?

It is from a fiesta st, car is just over 2years old and is standard.

No one else drives the car

There is no way ever that could occur driving along a motorway for 2 hours, or indeed 2,000 hours.

In fact, the picture just seems to show some damaged friction material, even at 10x worse the car would have still happily cruised along that motorway without the driver knowing.

So there is clearly more background to this, or more info needed.

Yes it did drive along ok, it was when we stopped for fuel he noticed the clutch smelling and vibration.
We had drove from Leicestershire to Cornwall, 95% of that journey is top gear cruising.

And the answer to the first part of the question is.....

Yes he has had the car from new.

We pulled off at a junction and straight into a petrol station, no queuing.
