Normal for rear brakes to wear faster than front onfwd ?

[fendertele]

Hey my car has done 42k, around the 28/29k the rears then front pads needed replaced also the rear rotor as the dealership missed that the rear brake pads were worn to the metal when I had asked for them to be inspected...

I just had my car in for a tyre change and was told to keep an eye on my rear brake pads.. I have been hearing some intermittent noise but put it down to dirt as I felt 12k for rear pads is a bit low ?

Now I'm thinking the rears will wear faster than fronts on some cars.

Yeah my car is a seat.. I only questioned this due to the life of the original pads.

I got the rear rotor replaced at same time as pads so can't be the worn rotor issue

My car has the hill start function but it's always been there and I very rarely use it as I use the clutch biting point

It has anti skid on by default yeah

No cruise control

Unless they never replaced the rotor after all?

I was pissed at them at the time for not catching the worn breaks as that was one of two reasons I had booked it in and they never bothered to check them.. so when they told me the rotors needed replacing I got them to half in out of goodwill for the rotors.. maybe I hacked them off and they left the worn ones on..

Thu it's a strange one those first set of pads lasted twice as long and went through the worst winter in a long time ice etc... We ain't even hit winter yet so the second pads have had a much easier time conditions wise

Also after replacing the pads and rotors the handbrake was very loose and I asked for them to sort it.. don't know if that has anything to do with it but thought I'd mention incase

[fendertele]

Yeah I'm cool with the order of how they wear just found it strange the first set did 25+ and these are showing signs of needing replaced at 12 when the first set had the worst conditions and lot more braking required

[fendertele]

Would hope they are OEM had it done at the car dealership for seat ?

[fendertele]

Yeah this is what I'm wondering if the first set lasted 20+ and second set are needing changed soon at 12+ and I imagine are OEM if I got them replaced at a seat dealership.. something must have changed ?
