Brake disc help

Hi everyone

Can anybody tell me what would cause the front disc pad to only grip 2/3 of the disc and is it a problem?

Brakes feel fine with no pulling or anything.

Thanks

Just a note to say hello. After the last 20 years of company car ownership -all Audi's (bar 2 years with a 320d coupe which was a great car until it snowed!) - I am now looking to buy my own car and am pretty much decided on the X5 3.0d facelift, 04 to 05 model due to my £7k max budget.
