After replacing the rear pads and disks at the weekend i've noticed an odd wear pattern on one disk, could anyone tell me what would cause this? thanks

Cannot see from your thubmnail photo. However if the outside anulus area of the disc is showing signs of being polished and the inside anulus is still as "new" then the answer is that some pads are tapered to aid bedding in . If this is your concern then it will be resoved in a few hundred miles of use. Please don't ask me why some manufacturers do this and others don't because I don't know !
