Fair enough, I see your point.
But what if my brakes and pads needed changing in forced circumstances at third party garage, and the garage don't hold seat parts, they would know who the OE manufactures are.
That's a catch 22 there, but as they say it's wear and tear, then I'm sure if wouldn't matter, as its not covered in the first place. So it wouldn't effect the warranty otherwise they would mention it as a special condition, which is know where to be seen. And they wouldn't do that as it would put off potential customers.
Personally they would have a law suit on their heads if something happened, garage services men do the minimum anyway, and for them to inspect the brakes for some warranty work done that's none related would be very slim imo.
