Front Pads

[HendryG]

Just had my car in for MOT (which it passed) but there was an advisory on the front pads wearing thin.

my cars done 31000 miles and they've said the pads are 90% worn, does that sound about right?

I was always told pads should last 40-45K miles.

Depends on how the car has been driven from the off. Also depends on what pads they are too

I got the car with 17,700 miles on it at 2.5 years old by an olde guy so would assume that's been short shops and back trips. The 13K I've done has been 30 miles round trip motorway journey to work and back all week and the odd town driving at weekends.

Pad wear is so variable, 30k isn't too bad.
