Heres an old thread, I think it's quite common with light/infrequent use on these cars.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Had my Cayman up on the ramps yesterday and noticed the inside of the front brakes is showing uneven wear: I would assume this isn't normal, but wanted to get some opinions just in case - the outside of the disk is wearing normally.

POST 3Original post

That's not uneven wear, that's the usual inner disc face corrosion that the 996/986/997/987 models tend to suffer from. These are what mine looked like : And after : It's not helped by putting the car away with wet discs after you've washed it, but I don't think that's the sole reason for the problem. Replace the discs and pads and start again, or buy better quality discs ... Edited by Slippydiff on Friday 14th January 13:16

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys, that's calmed me down a bit That sounds about right really, I've had the car nearly a year but only tend to drive one day per week due to working from home. It's due a minor service now anyway but I intend to get the brakes done at the same time (the rear pipes are showing corrosion) so it will be addressed soon.
