If the brake pads had been metal-on-metal, you'd have heard horrible scraping grinding noises.

Yesssss was a weird sound but not only this. Was a strong vibration . But that never happens before

Im not expert but if you ask for full service its not their duty to check everything?

Yes and no. The garage SHOULD be following a schedule of tasks, which includes checking the brake fluid and brake friction components. But you yourself would be seen as a professional driver, of higher standard (so in some ways an 'expert') so you should have been able to sense a deterioration in the braking performance before this incident.

Honestly i don't but maybe only car was not fully loaded

It could well have been the pads failing entirely, the last of the abrasive material braking free of the block. 

Is the vehicle a hybrid?

They go when they go, it could be under light or heavy braking, but more likely when braking hard. The wear will have taken place over time though, how much depends on the journeys and one's driving style which is why there is no standard interval.

So probably the pads down to the backing material.

16k since anybody last looked at anything except oil and filter...? Yeh, they may have easily had half to a third of their thickness left back then.

As 400 suggested on the last page, the question is why there was no pad wear warning. There's usually a wire to one pad to put the dash warning light on, but that's easily damaged or left disconnected. Some cars have an audible warning - sounds like the pads down to metal, but you still have full braking.

If the pads did go down to metal, you've probably destroyed the surface of the discs, too.

A police officer told me today its minimal chances to get ticket because front of the car  don't pass kerb line .He told me always someone review the photos and always should by three photo evidence. First when car pass the line on red ,second when car clear the line and third when car live the intersection and must be a speed reading too. In my case its only first two and its no pedestrian way in that area.

So now take car to a garage, tell then what happened & let them look at the car.
Which is how old, with how many miles on the clock?

What do you mean by "kerb line"? The only line that matters is the solid white stop line at the junction.
If the nose of your car is past that, you are guilty.
You do not need to go through the junction completely.

No speed reading is needed, because you aren't being prosecuted for speeding - but some cameras will do both at the same time.

It's the movement of the car past that line while the lights are red that triggers the camera - and there's leeway of usually three seconds after the light goes red.

The light was amber for three seconds.
The red light camera starts three seconds after red.
So you must have crossed the line at least six seconds after amber - which should be your signal to stop.

30mph is just under 14 metres per second. So you would have been probably at least 70m from the lights when they changed to tell you to stop, but you could not do so.

Highway Code stopping distance from 30mph is 23m, made up of 9m thinking distance (2/3 second) and 14m braking distance.

I'm wondering if the garage is taking the OP for a ride (no pun intended) based on the OP not being a native English speaker?
