45,000 km seems low for Brakes / Pads
Have another SUV and the Discs and Pads are original and it has done 80,000 km
Thanks all.
Appreciate the feedback.
I need to rotate my tyres so will take a good look when I do this in the next week or two

It seems to be the standard for euro cars.
Japanese models don’t seem to have half as much dust

Where you live makes a big difference as well, cars out of the metro area and in the bush where there are no corners and flat roads get extroardinary kilometres between brake pad and tyre changes. I did a lot of towing with my last car and at 125k when I sold it there was still an estimated 10K left in the pads. We live in a very hilly area so I was pleased with that.
Just replaced my front pads and rotors after the warning light came on.
Only done 33k.
And I thought I was driving like Miss Daisy!
Maybe that's what happens when you live in the Hills District!
Shame I didn't have time to organise the ceramic upgrade like others on here.

Ceramic pads aren't hard to buy and when the light comes on there is still a few mm of friction material left.
I would guess you drive in lots of stop/start traffic and (maybe) don't look a long way up the road. My ex drove very carefully but would go through brakes in 25k purely because of traffic conditions.
