I have now had my ST for a year and took it in for its 2nd scheduled service (after 11,500 miles).
After £150 pounds had exchanged hands, I got the report back on the car.
Front and Rear pads are 10% worn. Tyres have 5mm left evenly on the front and 6mm left evenly on the back.
GEM module was re-programmed at request, as alarm would scream and shout whenever it felt liked it but everything else was fine!
Must say, I am quite suprised and happy that the pads are wearing slowly and that I still have plenty of tread on the tyres after almost 12,000 miles.
