Default Brake question...

Had the oil changed last week at the dealer and they told me that the rear brake pads were almost worn out. The fronts were still fine though. 50K miles by the way.

I commented on how this was the first car I've had where the rears went before the fronts and the dealer said it's because the rear pads are thinner to start with.

Is this correct?

Yes, thinner, and in some cases, a softer compound. The rears went before the fronts on the A4.
