Wierd breakwear situation on a used car possible buy

07 5AT G35X.

95000KM's. Mostly highway. The owner lives in a rural area.

The owner has a report stating 30% left on rear breaks and 60% on fronts. And that the breaks have never been replaced yet. I'm wondering how come we have a situation where the rear breaks are wearing faster than the fronts. And if there might be an issue here maybe with VSC or traction or AWD biasing etc.

This is normal with our cars as has been discussed many time son this forum and the reasons are as you listed, VDC(VSC), awd, and equal brake distribution.

But think about it, the car has gone 95K km (or nearly 60k miles) on the original brakes, and there's still at least 30% wear left !!

This is definitely not a problem. In fact, shouldn't it be applauded?
