Just got back from my local dealership - the rear calipers are basically stuffed. The N/S one was rescuable but the O/S needs replacing (at 14300 miles). The rear pads have near enough worn through and all this in the last month.
Last night the rear calipers stuck and I was left crawling along the motorway with the car sounding like a screaming kettle.
I took it in for a service and raised questions about the rear brakes 4 weeks ago and they replied that there was nothing wrong with them. Now they expect the pads to last no more than 2 weeks.
I am more than a little suspicious that they didn't even look at the calipers last time or inspect the pads as there is no way they have degraded that much inside of 300 miles.
I'm now waiting to hear if this will be covered under warranty
