rear brake pads
how often you change your rear pads?
i bought the car with 32k miles on it and never changed rear pads(still in a good shape too) , and im at 92xxx miles now
front ones i did change like 2 times already. i understand that front ones wear out faster due to load , but rear ones.... maybe im just overthinking but still , better to know for sure. thanks.

I changed mine at 99k. As mentioned in another thread, the outside pads look like yours does, but the one most worn down was the inboard pad on the right with the sensor. Got it used so I don't know if they were changed before, but the old pads were OEM MB pads. I used Akebono, hopefully the brake dust won't be bad.

Yeah, the inner one wore more than the outer one, but just by a little bit. Also the light goes off when there's still appears to be plenty of pad left. I guess if you do them early you can reuse the sensor. I got the check brake pads message every time I started the car so it was a little annoying having to clear it every time.
