71k for me.

When I took them off, they had another 10k left

Did you replace rotors or just pads first time around?

Just had a look at my front pads. Look like they'll need changing soon though car has only done 25k miles and I don't brake particularly hard. Idrive says another 11k miles though I reckon a lot sooner than that

Is it the fact it's an auto and using the brakes rather than a manual gearbox to slow the car down?

I've always thought the standard brakes are pretty poor. Maybe thinking to change to Brembo pads to see if that makes any improvement.
