New Brake Discs already?

2006 Peugeot 207 207 S
Car: Peugeot 207
Year: 2006
Variant: 207 S
Categories: Steering, Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres
I have had my car since new, it was registered Sept 06.
I took it back to the dealership last week for a service and they have told me it needs new brake discs and pads.
The car has only just done 17thousand miles.
Does this seem right??????
Brake pads ok...but brake discs????

The brake pads have had the asbestos removed, so that the pads don't last as long. I had the pads replaced on my '07 207 at 30,000 miles, and again, this was picked up on a routine service.

If you know a friendly mechanic / engineer, then they may be willing to help fit the pads for you, and avoid the nasty charges from the dealer.
