15000 miles (max) seem right? Its actually probably less, more like 12000.

Had new rear discs & pads at a service Jan 2012. In the time since, its been to France twice (1500 miles each), Belgium once (500 miles) and Ireland about 7 times (1200 miles each), one of which had a 300 mile tow. Rest of the time its in London. So a lot of that mileage is motorway.

Brakes have been squeaking for a few weeks (not sure if front or rear) and I was going to whip them out and coppa grease them but driving out to Uxbridge yesterday, brakes started grinding from the rear and pad wear indicator came on

So obviously I've got to get pads and probably new rear discs but is it usual to wear them out in that short a space of mileage?

It really depends on your style of driving. For me I would expect more than that to be honest .

Also depends which pads you replaced them with too. Sounds like your rear brakes have been sticking to wear out so quick.

+1....
Needs checking out..... RRS HSE with a few extras & a

I rarely got more than 15000 miles out of my rears infact they triggered sensor before fronts but usually was towing with mine or driving it like a hooligan. Never had any issue with calipers until FullFat killed pads and discs on a round trip to Cumbria. The entire rear lot was scrap by time I got home 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱

Lazy rear caliper, which the guys at AJS fixed

Like a well oiled pit crew, had 4 new tyres, 2 rear sets of pads and eased brake caliper in less than 20 mins

There you go I told you it was a sticky rear calliper ...............................or was that Ady

Driver's side rear, light came on & started grinding at the same time

Mine were replaced just before i purchased the car, 7000 miles later at service Lookers PR told me they needed replacing! I replaced them but i can't help but feel i was a bit stitched! No light came on either!
