Why does my Vauxhall Corsa's brake squeak when I press it?

I have noticed that whenever I press the brake pedal on my Vauxhall Corsa, there is a high-pitched squeaking noise. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

This squeaking noise is most likely caused by worn out brake pads. It is important to get them replaced as soon as possible to avoid any potential safety hazards. You can easily get them replaced at a local mechanic.

Another potential cause could be dirt or debris stuck in the brakes. Try cleaning them out with a high-pressure hose or taking your car to a car wash. If the problem persists, it is best to get it checked by a professional.

If your Vauxhall Corsa has recently been through heavy rain or has been driven through deep puddles, the brake discs may have become wet, causing them to squeak. In this case, the noise should go away as the brakes dry off.
