Those pads will be fine.  They won't have bed in over one drive.

I am a delivery driver so I do alot of driving and braking alot too.

I still don't really understand why the pads weren't replaced at the same time as the discs.  Personally, If I couldn't get a disc off, I'd just have left the old pads fitted until I could do both together.

If the pads still look flat when removed, they'll still be fine to use.  If there are any deep grooves cut through them from disc damage, or if they're noticeably worn more on one part, that's not ideal, but I would still use them with the new discs.

It was squeeking so I replaced the pads. The pads was really worn but it was still sqeeking.

Day 339 of the disc and pads replacement and the story rolls on, the brakes don't work 🤣

Just think if it took a Ford dealer this long and it was £960 per day the job would have cost

£325,440 + VAT 🤣
