Default 2003 X-type 2.5, ABS or Master Cylinder?

My Cat has developed an issue where the ABS is kicking in at low speeds. At first I thought it may be a sensor issue but no codes are logged.

I had two different certified Jaguar techs check the sensors, brakes, bearings, calipers, and related gear but they found no mechanical issues. The only thing out of place is the drivers side brake pads are wearing down ten times faster than the passenger side pads.

That leads me to believe it is either an issue with the ABS Valve body or the master cylinder.
Does anybody have a way to determine if it is one or the other? Am I even on the right track with this thought process?

Paul,
I just downloaded the Owners Manual and I see an option to turn DSC off but no way to indicate if it has traction control other than a fault lite. By the way mine does not have DSC from appearances. No button on center console.

If you have DSC you also have traction control. No DSC, no traction control on an AWD car.

first off i would change your break fluid.
lets make sure there is no dirt in there acting like a check valve.
also a little silicon grease on the guide pins of your calipers will help stop them binding (front driver side)
