Brake Pad Wear
MY15
Is it normal for the rear pads to be more depleted than the fronts? I had new tyres fitted today and took the opportunity to have a close look at the pads. The fronts have much more meat than the rears which look to have about 4mm left. I thought it would be the fronts that would wear out first.Never take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
I suspect someone must have already changed the fronts without changing the rears !

Mines just had a set of rear pads done at 13000 miles No sticking callipers or any other fault found, whereas the fronts still have plenty of friction material left Mines also a MY2015 Cheers Ian

Rear pads on mine changed at second service, fronts changed at the third service, rears are small compared to the fronts.

Washwipe and Hairy Dan: that sounds like a pattern that I conform to. Just coming up to 21000 miles and second service due in Nov so I guess that I'm in the right ball park for wear.
Yes Roy H. I'm the first owner and no pad changes so far.
Thanks all for you replies.
