It seems a bit soon to be replacing them. Are they worn?

I'd whip them out for a look, almost as quick as posting and you can check them properly.
Bike parts don't always turn out to be the ones they are supposed to be!

....1100 miles on the clock

The rear brake pads were grinding horribly and when I removed them they were down to the metal.
I cannot see how the front discs will have fared better

In fairness I wouldn't expect top quality pads on a budget bike.

I thought it had a V brake on the back and a disc on the front. Has yours got a V brake on the front?

You should take your existing ones off first to check them for wear. Disc pads don't wear anything like V brakes. It only takes a minute to get the out.

For the rim brakes I would swap to something that takes cartridge brakes. They are a little more expensive the first time but after that you just replace the rubber bits, they also tend to wear more evenly and make less noise as the metal backs keep them stiff.

Here are some from decathalon but you can pick up similar packs in a million different brands from any bike shop.

Fitting new pads once you have cartridges is easy as you can unclip the noodle(bit in the middle) so the brakes push apart then twiddle with the rubber bits and close it back up, adjust the barrel adjusters as the new pad will be closer to the rim and away you go.
