I always wonder how the mechanics work out a figure like 98% or even 80%

You are not honestly going to tell me they measure each and every pad with one of those fine micrometer things?

I mean 98%. That would be metal on metal and well past the rivets

Steuart I wouldn't bother with the health forecast.
The reception lady said to me 'Oh it will only take ten minutes'. How can you give a car a thorough safety once over in ten minutes?? You would have trouble just getting all the wheels off and inspecting the discs/pads in ten minutes surely!
A good health check would involve checking fluids in engine/diffs etc, as well as a thorough underbody/steering/suspension/drivetrain/exhaust etc examination I would have thought.

You get a free 'visual' safety health check. Basically check the lights, wipers, levels under the bonnet, tyres and brakes, and a quick look underneath for oil leaks etc.
If you want all the above checked, perhaps you would consider a service
