Rear Break Pads and Rotors Wear
Just picked up my car from the dealer after annual service, and got a recommended notice to change rear break pads and rotors. Note stated that front pads were 8 mm and rear were 4mm. The car has approximately 26,000 miles on it.
I typically replace breaks and rotors myself so I declined, however I was very surprised that rear break pads wore out so fast, considering that front ones are still fine. I will double check myself over the weekend, not the first time dealer mixed up front and rear breaks on the report.
Anyone ran into this issue for this model?
Thanks.

Torque vectoring is available as an option on the 2021 GLB. Maybe you have it (I don’t know the data card code, though). It showed up at Mercedes in various versions about 20 years ago. It eats rear brake pads because it brakes the inside rear wheel on a tight turn.
