The last time my low  pad warning check was displayed I'd still at least half of each pad left.

That correct operation?

The sensor worked fine & worked as well as expected, however as with a lot of cars there is a lip at the edge of the disc where the pads don't quite reach the edge, so the unworn bit of disc wears through the sensor earlier than it would have done if the disc was new. There were miles of brake pads left (5000 IIRC   )

Without going outside to look   .... how many miles of pads are left at the back of your car? No sensors there.

The warning should come up at about 2/3rds wear.  Front pads shouldn't really be taken down much further.

It is possible to use an old sensor and short it out to to stop the message, but thats a bit of a bodge imho - why not just replace the sensor?
