 Rear brakes - Bromptonaut
Possibly easier to integrate service and parking brakes?

Objectively, is there any advantage with discs rather than drums at the rear?

In other words, is discs all around worth anything more than marketing puffery?

Both our current cars, 2013 Berlingo and 2016 Skoda Fabia, are all disc.

Previous Berlingo, a 2005 model, had drums at the rear. Even fully loaded on Alpine passes I can't say it felt under braked.
