I have a VW Golf Estate owned from new in 2016 and on its original set
of front and rear brake pads.
Its an 6 spd DSG auto box & diesel blue motion and with an electronic
parking brake with all teh usual stuff like ABS, ESP, and adaptive
cruise control.
the rear pads are much closer to their wear limit than the front pads.
Is this normal or usual?
I had thougth the fronts wear quicker than rears, which is certainly
true for the tyres on it.....
The car has done 55,900 miiles.
Most garages are only quoting for front and rear pad replacement.
So will the current discs last till the next pad change at circa 110k
and still be above their minimum thickness?
I am led to believe that if the discs are replaced due to being too
thin, the pads should also be replaced as well. So what is a reasonable mileage to expect from a set of discs?
So Should I have the discs replaced while the wheels are off the car and during the pad change or leave the discs well alone?

A sizeable part of the cost of brake replacement is labour so, if you're paying someone to do it, it makes economic sense to replace both pads
and discs at the same time.
However, if you're doing it yourself, it's a different matter. In my
case, the Hyundai dealer wanted over 400 quid for replacing the front
pads and discs on my Tucson. There was nothing actually wrong with the
discs - they were well within their wear limits, and not scored. I kept
the original discs and just fitted new pads at a cost of not much more
than 40 quid.
Like others, I think it's odd that your rear brakes have worn more than
the front one - sounds like they've been binding - and need
investigating. Have you noticed a detrimental effect on fuel consumption?
