Hi, I’m new in the forum and I just bought a abarth 595 competizione from 2017 full spec on the 6th of December 2020 with 44000km that’s 27k miles.

The car was serviced 3 times always by FIAT and the last time was in august, I realised the rear rotors and pads were changed on the last service and I was just wondering how come it happened first than the front brakes, always thought the front wear out first, my friend that came with me to buy the car checked the front disc and told me that the discs aren’t flat anymore and there’s a little metallic line around them and I would need to change them soon, the seller only did 2000km since the last service and I think FIAT would had changed the disc in the front if they were that worn out, I would like to know how many miles you guys have done with the front pads and discs and why the rear brakes wear out first. My English isn’t perfect hope you understood my questions.

Regards


 

It appears the you have not got a detailed service history of your car, so you cannot tell if or when your front discs and pads have been changed.
When you write little metallic line on the front discs, do you mean a lip at the outer edge? We have this on our current Abarth and it has covered 28000 miles, these are the originals. I appreciate disc wear is very dependant on driving styles.
The rear pads used to have a tendency to seize on, this would increase disc and pad wear. I push grease into the little rubber bellows to keep the slider pins lubricated. I have not seen this done at the service interval in the UK. This seems to work.

The rears wear because of the ttc. Its constantly  applying the rear brakes to keep the front planted. Also worth noting rear pistons are rotary so if changing yourself the piston screws in, doesn't push.
