From the chat box:

just bought an stx d40 2.5 td 4 door. it has everything for off road and i assume it has been there in the past . its done 71000 its had an raa inspection and the dealer has to replace front disks and 1 leaking brake cylinder. is this normal

My front discs only lasted 40,000km, but I've regularly got towards 2T behind me and I'm not always on highway - I'm often on forest trails, so there's a lot of dirt, dust, sand and mud being flung around. I'm not 100% happy with the Tekonsha Voyager brake controller - it requires too much adjustment and sometimes I'll be heading down a hill and the van won't brake in sync with the car = extra wear on the Nav's front brakes.

A leaking brake cylinder isn't a big deal. It could happen to any car. It's certainly not a common complaint - although it's a minor thing, so may not even warrant mentioning in most people's minds.
