Like I said, the miles until service will decrease at a rate depending on your driving style. Drive it every so often and the rate is slow. Drive it every day in stop and go traffic and the rate will be much faster.

Your rear brake are fine. Each Pad has a sensor that wears down with the pad. You obviously dont drive your puppy hard or brake hard. Front brake pads usually wear faster than rears.

2 month ago idrive stated I had 9,000 miles on my front pads, now it states I have 11,000 miles on them. This is because I dont brake harsh during autumn or winter - just when having the crack on warm sunny roads during the summer months.
