A Genuine, Confirmed Fault: Brakes That Don't Fully Release — Peugeot 108 Brake Discs
If you're noticing a burning smell, a wheel that feels unusually hot after driving, or a wheel making noise that comes and goes seemingly at random, this is worth checking directly before assuming worn discs or pads: a genuine, dealer-confirmed fault exists where the brakes don't release fully from the disc after being applied, causing exactly this kind of overheating on one or more wheels. This has been documented as an out-of-warranty repair even on cars only around 1.5 years old, with a labour cost commonly in the £60-80 range. If you notice a wheel running hot or smelling of brakes after ordinary driving, it's worth raising this specific fault by name with a technician rather than assuming it's simply wear.

Peugeot 108 Brake Discs: What They Do
