I changed shock absorbers at 120k km. How is your ride going through humps? Do you feel the car bottom out? The rubber boots you refer to could be the cover. It can crack and doesn't affect the suspension. The shock absorbers will be changed together with the rubber bumps.
Refer to nissan shock absorber campaign.

For the brakepads, how can the middle groove gone? So the brakepad not wearing out evenly?

A good mech will ask you to change everything. More change, more money. Just take it as super advance warning.

If brake worn that probably have some symptom (Noise), disc worn seriously (uneven).
shock absorber rubber boot? (is it cover the absorber sponge) that is passive item.
