Brake pads and discs on a Xsara Picasso

I have owned this car since 2005. At MoT last June (2010), it has new front discs and pads.

Had these replaced FOC at same (Citroen) garage in August 2010. Now they need replacing again! Have only done about 5,000 miles - am mindful of speed humps, braking too hard, etc. Do local/some long distance trips; change into neutral when at traffic lights - not keeping foot on brake. Why?

Probably caused by sticking calliper pins.
