I own a 2005 Land Rover LR3 with 17,000 miles and i just had an inspection done at the dealer and they told me that the rear brakes are 40 percent worn and the front 70 percent. I asked them why at only under 20k miles, and They told me this is normal for Land Rovers. does anyone else believe this?

That's a bit early but possible. I'll probably get yelled at from every front but you can just replace the pads/linings at low miles if in good judgment all else looks well but I would do one axle at a time and let them break in then go for the other.
You can buy products that will last longer but it also depends on your driving habits. If you use two feet with an automatic trans it's YOU!
If you are a DIYer say so and if not get all the right work done. This is brakes and your life so don't fool around.
Always best to do something right and well. It costs to do that, T
