Is it unusual for the rear brake pads to wear before the front ones?

In November 2019, I purchased a 2017 Jaguar F-Pace 2.0-litre petrol with 6000 miles on the clock from a main dealer. It now has just over 12,000 miles and has just had its 36-month service. I was surprised that the rear brake pads only have a couple of thousand miles left. I would have expected the front pads to wear first.

This is unusual. I would recommend getting the brake callipers checked as this may be caused by the rear brakes sticking and cause uneven wear.
