Front Pad Sensor

Can I change just the sensor? Pads have great life left but the sensor is damaged. Wasn’t properly secured last brake change I presume because it it frayed badly, just bought the car last month.

Yes, you can change just the sensor. Was any damage done to the connection, or was it just the sensor end that got damaged?

Just some bad fraying in the middle of the cable.

You should be able to just replace the sensor then without issue.
