Default Rear brake linings

OK, I picked up my car yesterday after having some warranty work completed for the Bose, and the service advisor told me that I needed to get the rear brakes changed as they had less than 3000 miles of use left in them.
Now call me stupid, but the car has only covered 13000 miles in total, mostly on motorways. They said they have checked for any sticking parts etc but all is well.
I've told them that I owuld imagine they are covered on warranty, but apparently not, so, I'll take it up with Audi UK customer services.
Anybody else had dificulties with rear brake lining wear ?

Default All four of my brake discs had to be replaced because they were past tolerance levels

That was at about 27Kmi.

Default I had my rears replaced as well about 100 miles ago.

Fronts have about 1000 miles left before replacement.

Default just had my 25k service (at 24k)

Dealer said I had 1/8 inch of pad life left. Is that acceptable to drive another 10 k?
