Brake Pad Wear Indicator on GPS

Does the GPS have a brake pad wear indicator? I have the OEM pads still on and have covered approx 25,000 and still not come on. Maybe it's just me but my Clio needed new pads and discs @ 18,000 and my old Beemer every 12,000.

Are the OEM pads that good for longevity?

you should be able to easily see how much 'pad thickness' is left if you look at the callipers.

Had a look but couldn't really see, brakes still biting well. Do you know if the 1.9 GPS has the indicators T??
