Just beaten by T-Cut and FrenchMike, but neither have mentioned the following.

Have you looked at all four brakes for your missing wear indicator(s)

There are only two fitted, one to the offside front and the other to the nearside rear.

To find the front cable, turn the steering wheel to full left lock. Looking through the rear side of the front wheel, you should see the flexible brake hose coming over to the brake caliper. Attached to it, you should see a cable protected by a cable protector -( a length of plastic, coiled around the cable). The second to final connector for the cable should be close to the suspension strut.the final connector is a push fit connection between the cable end fitting and the tab on the edge of the brake-pad.

The rear wear indicator is on the nearside, again with a similar protected cable attached.
