So you have had your car for a year. Did the car fail it's MOT for brakes or is the dealer just 'advising it'. Remember that generally, cars are only getting 'looked at' once a year, these days, so dealers tend to be much more cautious about things like that.
I certainly wouldn't be upset if a 2nd hand car lasted a year before needing service items.
Brakes on xc70 are very high use, particularly rear, and discs rarely last more than 2sets of pads
