Hi all!

My MK6 Golf's rear discs require replacing, however, whilst I know pads and discs are supposed to be replaced together, my rear pads are almost like new (even though they were both replaced when I brought the car 3 years ago) and appear to have a lot of life left in them.

The car is currently only used for city driving so the bedding in of the old pads to the new discs I don't think would be an issue, but then again what do I know? laugh

Honestly the rear pads have so much life in them it'll be a waste to replace them, but before I decide I thought I'll run it by the professionals? Thanks!
