A Genuine, Specific Fault Worth Knowing: Disc "Lipping" — Renault Megane Brake Discs
If a service or MOT flags "lipping" on your discs, this is worth understanding rather than assuming it's the same as warping or corrosion: lipping refers to a raised ridge forming around the outer edge of the disc where the pad's contact area doesn't quite reach, gradually building up over normal wear. A genuine dealer quote for exactly this fault has been documented at £320 for discs and pads together — a real cost benchmark worth having when comparing quotes elsewhere.
It's also worth knowing that parking a freshly washed car away, especially in an enclosed garage while still wet, is a well-documented cause of the rear brakes binding — moisture between the pad and disc surfaces, combined with the handbrake holding them together, can cause exactly this. Leaving the handbrake off (using a brick or leaving it in gear instead) until everything's had a chance to dry is worth doing.

On the Renault Megane, these two components wear together, and letting one go too long accelerates wear on the other, which is why a simple pad swap so often reveals discs that need replacing at the same time.
Renault Megane Brake Discs: What They Do
Brake discs provide the surface the brake pads clamp against to slow the car, converting momentum into heat through friction. Larger, sportier trims of the Megane typically use bigger discs than standard versions to handle the additional heat generated by more aggressive braking.
