My  Honda garage reported recently that both front and rear brake pads were 70% worn .Firstly I always thought that  the front pads always bore the brunt of the pad wear and secondly at what % of brake pad wear do Jazz brake pads start 'screeching'(page 298 in the Handbook)?
  Can anyone out there help?

I don't know at what stage they start screeching - but I would be thinking about booking it in for replacement
fairly soon either way - I prefer to avoid wearing things right to the very last, sometimes you can do damage and end up with a more expensive problem - in this case it will only be the discs I realise.
With Brakes steering and tyres I just don't mess about.
