They used to hit me for new discs and pads on most services when I had company cars. As I wasn't paying I didn't worry.
Now we have condition based servicing and brake pad thickness monitors I can see that I'm on target to get 40-50K miles out of my pads.
Shouldn't discs last longer than pads? Aren't the pads the part that is supposed to wear?
