Squeaking Brakes on Reverse Week Old Car

[dundee1961]

The last 3 days when Reversing Our Car MG ZS EV EXCLUSIVE the Brakes are squeakng quite loudly .... Its embarrassing Brand New Car One Week Old with Brakes squeaking. Only in Reverse.
Has anyone else had this?
Is this going to be a trip to Garage...

It's normal to a degree I think as the brakes aren't used as much as in an ICE car due to regen. Maybe try driving and braking hard a few times (in safe conditions of course!) to clean up the discs/remove any minor debris. Some on here do the same but in reverse.

Of course, you could have a fault of some description so if you're not comfortable, a trip to the dealer is always a good option

Squealing Brakes

Just wondered if this is a common problem. My brakes have started squealing just before stopping. Happens in both directions. I use KERS on Level 3 most of the time and got used to this so brakes not used as much. Car just under 2000 miles. Think I might need to get in touch with the dealer.

I've just noticed this too just recently. After the reversing manoeuvre has finished the brakes are fine. It may be they are a bit more receptive to collecting dust etc., which then gets rubbed off pretty soon after normal driving.

The problem appeared for me few days into the ownership. It became less frequent with time but disappeared completely after I had the dealer service the brakes under warranty.
My recommendation is not to be concerned as it a common occurrence and to book the car in with the dealer to have a look.
