   Why would the pad in the inside of the disc be wearing much much quicker that the one on the outside

   because the inside pad has the piston pushing against it. It should make a huge amount of difference though. If it is then something is possible not right.

   Your caliper sliders are gummed up/seized so the pressure is not being distributed evenly.
   Clean and grease them up, taking care not to rip any seals as you do so.

   As above. But no matter how good condition they are in i find they still wear unevenly a little bit.
