S320 CDI Perlite Gray Metallic 2005
My sister has a B180 CDI 58 REG AUTO, she lives in jersey so lots of short journeys. She took the car in for a service today Jacksons they are not a main dealer but seem to have the monopoly on the higher end car mkt.

I'll get to the point, they've told her she needs new front brake discs and pads they are 90 percent worn after 11,000 miles does this sound normal, my sister doesn't speed around banging the brakes on.

Any advice appreciated, I've told her to take it to another garage to get the discs thickness measurements. . From looking on the net quick Google 22mm new 20mm min tolerance, it doesn't sound much!

Regards

Michael
 
11.000 miles seems low, but high salt levels/rust from standing, wouldn't help and might increase wear.
Can't cut corners on safety though, but I would still have a second opinion.
