The MB dealer I am considering purchasing a CPO car from told me that the brake pads have 6 mm remaining. However, during the pre-purchase inspection by an independent certified foreign car mechanic, the mechanic said that the rear brake pads have 30% remaining and the front pads have only 20% remaining, and that a new set of brakes will be needed fairly soon. The dealer responded by saying that the brake pads had to have at least 50% remaining in order for the car to be Certified about one month ago. How many millimeters do new brake pads for that car have? I was also told that if I just change the pads without the rotors, it is almost a sure thing that squeaks will develop when braking. Can the brake pads be changed without having new rotors (and sensors) installed as well?
