I did my service today, brakes are wearing excellently, I reckon there is still about 80% of the front pads left easy, the car has clocked up 17,000km, I've got a manual one though and I tend to use the gears to help slow me down.

The tyres are a fair bit above the wear indicators, I reckon 70% tread left easy.

I chucked an engine flush in and ran that for a little bit, oil come out pretty black, shows that even high grade synthetics don't keep the thing completely clean.

Black oil is good. It means that the muck in the engine is suspended in the oil instead of stuck to your motor.
