Brake pad minimum thickness?

MOT Tuesday!

Pads looking a bit low, whats the minimum thickness I can get by on?

Will change the lot tomorrow if I have time between showers that is!

its a 2004, 110 TD5 if it makes a difference.

What pads should I get, do a good bit of mileage on motorways?

Cheers all and happy new year.

3mm would be min on most motors, they dont always wear evenly so the one you can see may have 3mm and the inner one could almost be metal to metal.
Sadly the longer you leave them the more your calliper pistons have a chance to rot out and not slide nicely back into the calliper thus scrapping the calliper.
