Had my 4 year service (at 43,000 miles) a couple of weeks ago. Health check recorded Front Pads @ 7mm & rear @ 4mm left.
A few hundred miles later and a warning message has appeared - Brake pads worn. Does anyone know:
Is the 4mm reported near to the limit? If so, should it have been advised as a job at the service?
If 4mm is not near the limit, how accurate is the warning on the dash?
Being an SVR should I stick with the original Jaguar pads when replacing - or is there a better option?
I've had the car since new, main dealer service all the way through, normal brakes (not Carbon Ceramic!) - I suspect this will cost a few quid!
Any advice, experience or views appreciated!
Warn Brake Pads Warning
it could also be the health check looked at the outside Pad and the inside pad is actually worn further tripping the warning so worth getting it checked.

It might be worth checking to see if the brake sensor wire has come out of its fixing and has been rubbing on the inner rim. If so it could have worn through causing a false alarm which happened to me recently. This wire is only fitted one side front and back on my model, not sure about yours.
Reference brake pads, I did quite a bit of research on this a few months ago mainly to try and reduce the high level of brake dust without compromising the performance and as a result the problem has now been solved.

Prior to selling my V6S I had it serviced whiich they did a thorough check and indicated 50% wear on rear pads at 29k miles and advised the warning would show but fine for another 5k or so miles

Thanks very much for this lots of interesting opinions and views - that'll save me quite a bit of time!
For what it's worth, took her out for a drive for the first time since the warning appeared and it has now cleared from both the car and the app. I'll probably drop it into the dealer to check all is well.
