What Causes Brake Pad Wear?

So, how long should brake pads last? Brake pads are the pieces of your braking system that always make direct contact with brake rotors, causing friction and slowing down your vehicle on those busy Milan roadways. The friction and resulting heat generated causes your brake pads to eventually wear down. Eventually, this wear will be so severe that you’ll need replacement.

When debating how long brake pads last, several factors can increase or decrease the rate that your brake pads will deteoriate. How hard you slam on the brake pedal is not only a major factor, it’s well within your control. Other aspects include outside temperatures and roadway conditions can make their mark. Here’s a full breakdown of everything that can impact how long do brake pads last:

  • Driving/braking habits
  • Type of brake pad
  • Manual vs. automatic transmission
  • Local driving environment
  • Condition of other brake components

How Long Should Brake Pads Last?

Keeping all of this information in mind, remember that all brake pads have a different rate of burn-off for the make and model they’re made for. At the same time, the brand and its quality level on these items can have an impact as well. On average, expect most brake pads to last at least about 20,000 miles on the lower end and up to 75,000 miles on the higher end.
