I find it unusual for the rears to be replaced before the fronts I would normally point to the brakes binding which is not uncommon on rear callipers with hand brake built in
I have to agree with that
@N2STY.
The rears get even less work to do than the front and they are not over worked either ? .
Rear handbrake callipers / motors etc tend to stick or seize and the disc's are prone to pit with rust.
All mainly due to the lack of any serious work to conduct really.
The braking fiction pad material tends to me much thinner on the rears than the front pads from new as standard and I understand why, less wear !
This is reflective of the fact that about 75% of the braking efficiency is done by the front brakes.
When the callipers are assembled with the pads when new, they never receive any type of anti seize lub, which just makes matter even worse.
Road smuts / salt / water spray and lack of any service travel / use, results in an early target for a brake service or even rear disc and pad replacement prematurely in my opinion.
MOT's are a prime target.
I guess it's a different set of circumstances between ICE and EV vehicles.
Disc's on a ICE tend to get replaced when they either become worn below the min thickness recommend by the manufacture, or more often than not, because the disc's have warped due to excessive heat ( causing disc run out ) and this can be felt through the steering wheel as a vibration when braking.
With EV's it is almost the opposite situation, the disc's will getting replaced due to the lack of use, not over use thats for sure !.
Unless you have a high performance Tesla etc and you drive it like you stole it ?.
Regardless, you going to get caught for replacements either way !.
Hoping that they will be third party firms suppling disc's and pads by the time I need any for my car, because if they are OEM parts ONLY, it usually means it's time to remember to put a board down the back of your pants when you visit the dealer !.
