Thanks for your reply. What I am trying to get across is that my driving style is "economic." I work fro home and avoid rush hour driving where there would be a lot of stop start. And even if my usage was the same as the previous owner, I would still only account for 25% of the wear on the pads and discs.

My car is in for a service now and I have just been advised that it needs new front brake pads (90% worn) and discs. This is not a cost I was expecting within 12 months of buying the car. Bought a year ago on 31235miles. Now on 44125 miles. Bearing in mind that I have only accounted for 25% of the mileage since new and that I am not a "heavy footed" driver. (I have averaged 56.4mpg since owning it). Dealer that supplied the car has a policy of replacing parts more than 50% worn on a previously owned vehicle casts doubt on whether this should have been replaced before supplying the vehicle. So the question is Were the brake pads more than 50% worn when I bought the car? Should the discs be wearing at the same rate as the pads? Is this acceptable?
