Jan 4, 2022 at 13:36 comment added Chris H @GrigoryRechistov except for the left edge of the top one I agree, but that reminds me of my own crash-inducing wear, combined with the last of the pad proper coming off the backing once it got too thin to hold its structure.
Jan 4, 2022 at 7:26 comment added Grigory Rechistov The scratch marks on the OP's picture do not correspond to what a "working" surface of a break pad would have after some use. They rather look like a "piston" pad side would look like. Even fully and catastrophically worn pads will have the "linear" scratch marks. I still think that the OP's image does not show us the braking side, meaning that it is impossible to estimate how badly these pads are worn.
