Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My drivers side rear break pads were right at the wear sensor notch, but the rear passenger side pads had a fraction more to go before reaching the wear notch. I just replaced them and did not notice any obvious differences between the two calipers. Is this okay?
Short answer yes Longer answer... of course and don't let anyone tell you that the calipers need rebuilding...
Yes, it is normal for one side to wear slightly more than the other. I have no idea why this happens but its not an issue.
Maybe the same reason in the US and countries with LHD the right rear tires wear slightly faster due to the tighter radius of right turns vs left turns? Maybe the opposite factor for the brakes? Maybe the driver side works slightly harder since that wheel has different load? The brakes need to work harder since that wheel isn't scrubbing? Or maybe there is more weight on the driver's side? Or... maybe your calipers need rebuilding J/K These are crazy crackpot theories, I have no idea
