Usually 2mm of friction material thickness is recommended minimum.
However make sure there isn't a stone or something trapped between disc and brake backplate. I've had that on other cars. Sometimes driving in reverse can release anything caught.

hmmm, drivers side has about 4mm but i can even see the nearside pad, which cant be good...
what would cause uneven wear? sticky piston?
anyway, ordererd some from asperformance adn was gonna take to kwikfit or similar to be fitted (how much will they charge?) but may do um myself.
although pointers would be helpful since ive not done such a thing since i was 18 on my mini checkmate...

Lots of info.
Pad changing easy, if you're reasonably spanner competent.
If you're not and think there may be a problem, best get someone who knows to do/take a look.
Don't want brake problems on anything but on fast things like Scoobs Noooooo.
