How do I fix a loud scraping noise coming from my Vauxhall Corsa's brakes?

I've noticed a loud scraping noise coming from my Vauxhall Corsa's brakes whenever I come to a stop. It's been going on for a few days now and I'm starting to get worried. What could be the cause of this and how can I fix it?

The loud scraping noise from your brakes is most likely caused by worn brake pads. As they wear down, the metal backing of the pad will start to rub against the metal rotor, creating a scraping noise.

It's important to have your brake pads replaced as soon as possible to avoid any further damage to the braking system. I recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic to get the pads replaced.

In the meantime, you can try gently pumping your brakes a few times before coming to a stop. This may help reduce the noise temporarily.

Also, make sure to check your brake fluid level. Low brake fluid can also cause a scraping noise and may indicate a leak in the system.
