AFAIK mines just turned 30k and on the original set. They do need changing ASAP now tough which I will do. Reason I can't guarantee they are 30k is because I'm the second owner from 13k. But I would be they are original from the factory.
I'd imagine even though I'm no expert the the un-even ware is due to poor alignment with either the calliper or the disk or maybe both. It'd also compromise braking performance too I'd imagine,. |

It makes me giggle...whilst mostly used off road and most of that is on a sandy site, my pads have to be replaced 3-4 times a year, that'll be once every thousand miles or so then! The joys of having a Defender solely as a toy!

Do you ever use the brakes? Andy. |

Uneven wear across a caliper suggests sticking pistons in the less-worn side.

Used mainly by the wife. That makes the brake pad longevity even more impressive. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |

Well pick it back up today and the dealer seems to think its within tolerance and so do land rover. According to land rover service specs, if it does a lot of sandy off road work then an inspection is due every 3k. Can't be arsed to keep banging my head against a brick wall and asking why the pads have lasted for less than half the distance than they did when the vehicle was new, even though the driving and work load of the vehicle has not changed.
The dealer has replaced the breakers FOC and we have agreed to inspect the brakes in 3k and assess the situation then. So I'll update in about 2months. |

I am assuming the discs are not being changed? As discs wear the will chew pads more.But 6k does seem a little quick.As for the uneven wear this would point to a caliper problem.
My 90 did 60k on fronts and 70 on rears and then only changed them because I had the wheels off.
