Default Mondeo Brake durability

Hi all,

Had reason to check the Mondeo's tyres this morning because I hit a nasty pot hole on a C class Victorian road yesterday - hell of a jolt through the passenger side of the car - happily no damage that I can see, so all is good.

But I noticed the brake pads are still showing lots of depth - about 8 mm at the front and 5mm at the rear.

Now since the car is coming up to its 60,000 km service interval it's looking like better than 100,000 km before any attention is going to be needed.

But that will probably be both pads and rotors, since the rotors are showing quite a ridge at the perimeter now. Guess I need to look at sourcing some spares across the next year or so to spread the financial load.

Anyone else had this sort of distance expectation, or am I just light footed on the brakes?

Does anyone know what the full pad depth (front and rear) is for a new pad?

Cheers
