Brake Pads & Rotors Under Maintenance Plan?

Has anyone had their brake pads and/or rotors changed under the MINI service maintenance plan yet? Thinking about taking the MINI out for a little HPDE and autoX so I want to know what criteria the dealer uses to change out the pads under service maintenance plan. Does the pad wear sensor have to light up? What about brake fluid changes? HPDE means annual changes, but the service schedule says 2 years.

My understanding is that they replace them if the light is on. I've never actually used the service, I replaced my stockers at about 6k miles.
