Courtesy inspection of my 2014 S at dealer reports 4 mm thickness on rear pads and suggested replacing them and rotors. Car has just 59 k miles, I bought it from them four years ago at 35 k miles, and it has lost just one bar of battery capacity. Braking feels fine. I drive in Eco mode. Based on posts here, I assume this is an uncommon amount of wear. I understand that pads should be replaced when they're around 3-4 mm thickness. I'm light on the brakes and only drive it around 6-7 k miles a year. I have an appointment tomorrow that I think I'll cancel. Perhaps check thickness myself to confirm or bring somewhere else to check, hoping they are a bit more than 4 mm. Is it reasonable to expect more life left on these pads given their thickness, battery regen capability, and my driving habits? Or replace pads but not rotors?
