When does wear and tear cross over and become a warranty issue?

Hi all,

I've just noticed some fairly shocking wear to the leather bolster of my drivers seat. Excuse the poor quality of the picture, but it was taken using my mobile phone.



Now, I know I wear jeans or combats most days which may accelerate wear over, say, suit trousers, but I wouldn't have expected such wear (the leather is actually beginning to 'peel') after 9months/less than 19k miles.

I'm not dissillusioned to the point where I would expect the interior to still be looking as new after 3 years/60k miles, but I would have expected something more durable than where I currently find myself.

So, my questions are:
Is anyone else experiencing wear of this nature? and
Do I have grounds to have this looked at under warranty, or is this a true wear and tear item?

Thanks in advance,

Si
