I bought the vehicle in Sept 2010 with a mileage of 31, 852 miles, at the MOT in March 2011 when rattling began the mileage was 34,749, but I did not get the vehicle fitted until two months later May 2011 (because of finances) with a mileage of 35, 305 by then the noise was horrendous and the disc significantly scored!

Thanks for your advice. Renault did state this, BUT the retailer still argues the MOT checks the thickness of the brakes and this could not have been measured by Renault if the brake pad was back to front, ALSO they said the car has alloy wheels so Renault could have peered through the alloy to cimply check the brake condition. This retailer is REALLY not giving in!

I purchased a Renault Megane convertible from a certain large car retailer (I wont disclose the name for legal reasons) on 10th September 2010. In March 2011 a rattling noise was noted from the vehicle rear following an MOT at Renault but it still passed, however Renault suggested further investigation was required in to the brakes. I took the car back to Renault to get repaired in May 2011, as the noise had become audibly horrendous! Renault found the off side rear brake pad had been fitted back to front and the car was unsafe to drive. The brake disc showed significant scoring where the brake pad had been fitted back to front on it. The car retailer who sold me the car deny that the vehicle was sold in that condition, despite reports from Renault and refusing to pay for work that had to be repaired. The company's argument is that the car was checked before being sold, and it would be impossible to not have noticed such a fault and asked how did it still manage to pass MOT? The matter is still due in court, but any further advice on the issue???
