One year later (being as the pad warning light had not come on) at the second service they reported the front pads 60% worn!
I would check for yourself if unsure. Mainly motorway driving should return about 30k to 40k in my book, even though the pads no longer have asbestos in them.

I think this must be tactic by dealers to make more money by changing them prematurely. The last 2 services on our Discovery have had the same feedback ..... pads will need replacing in another 1000 miles or so. When I take the wheels off and look, they are nowhere near worn.
