Just had this warning on an 2016 GLC with 33,000 miles; bit surprised it's come on so soon as the car does a lot of motorway miles.

Is this just an early (amber)warning before a final (red) warning to replace?
 
Only one warning now the sensor wire has been broken. Keep an eye on it and get new pads fairly quickly. Once you hear metal on metal you'll need new discs as well if you leave it too long. 30k + miles is about right for new pads.

The car stability program also uses the brakes without your input so that is another factor in wear rates
 
Many thanks for the info; I will get it booked in.
 
Update:-
Booked in with indy for front pads; turns out its back disks with a worn lip that has cut into the pads wire.

Seems poor for 34,000 miles - needs rear disks and pads!!

Is this worth taking up as a warranty issue?
 
Brakes are considered a wear and tear item and not usually covered by a warranty.
