20k miles and so far no issues (touch wood). I wonder if you low mileage users are creating a different type of strain on vehicle components by under-using them?

There’s certainly an argument for regularly using cars to keep them in good shape. They keep telling me that at the OPC!
The main warnings for brakes though seem to be not holding the pedal on very hot discs with the car stopped, likewise the parking brake onto hot discs or onto cold wet discs, say in the garage after washing. I’ve always been aware of these things and have tried to avoid them whenever possible.

They will tell you that at the OPC until you want to trade it when they will tell you it’s “high mileage” .Nuclear Nick wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 8:16 pm There’s certainly an argument for regularly using cars to keep them in good shape. They keep telling me that at the OPC!

Yes I agree - I always leave the handbrake off when parking in the garage as it is noticeable how they can stick when wet/hot, if there is going to be a light oxidation when I start up next time seems better it is uniform on the disk.. Sometimes I just leave the handbrake off anyhow but that another storyNuclear Nick wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 8:16 pm There’s certainly an argument for regularly using cars to keep them in good shape.

I practice all of the above. Never wash a warm car, always run the car after washing to dry the brakes, no handbrake on in the garage and run it all year round when weather conditions allow. So far so good.
Having said that how many cars get washed by the local hand wash folks with warm brakes and no issues. Maybe the more competition orientated brakes on a Porsche are more temperamental than the common or garden version on my run about 4x4
