    What’s the other side pad look like? If the slider pins are stuck or not properly lubricated, one side brake pad will wear out way faster than the other.

    Edit: Also the rotor doesn’t look happy. IMHO, it’s due for a full proper service.

      I am not a mechanic, but I do change my own brakes. And I agree that rotor looks line it could use a turning.

        Rotors are cheap enough that turning is hardly a thing these days. It might be worth it, but it’s an extra hassle imo.

          I have not had to replace rotors in well over a decade, the last time I did they were $90 each. Getting them turned usually cost me $40-60 for all four (depending if the person rang me up vs give them a tip)

    That pad looks fine. The Rotor does show Somme decent wear but it doesn’t look horrible either. If the rear side pads match the fronts then I’d say run what you have. Also note that brake pad & rotor changes are probably a 2 out of 10 on the difficulty scale. Did my wife’s front two last night in about an hour and a half.

        Just to be clear, by “rear side” I was referring to the mirror side of the rotor, not the rear of the car. Rereading my post, that wasn’t clear.
