I had my MOT about 2 months ago and put new pads on then but I have had squeeking from front wheels for a week or so now so I checked it out I thought brake dust...but my pads are almost worn out.

wtf? even with very heavy braking how can I destroy them in 2 months? lol

I don't think it's possible, even driving like a complete noob, really slow an dlike, it still wares the pads whenever you touch the pedal, can't be the same pads after 72k
