How Long Do Brake Pads Last?
Brake pads typically last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles, depending on factors such as:
- Driving style – Frequent hard braking will wear pads faster.
- Road conditions – Stop-and-go city driving causes more wear than highway driving.
- Brake pad material – Ceramic pads last longer than organic or semi-metallic alternatives.
Brake pads are checked during your MOT, so you’ll get an annual update on their condition. However, regular checks are recommended to ensure safe braking performance.
Signs of Worn Brake Pads
Over time, the friction material on brake pads wears down, reducing stopping power and safety. Common signs that it’s time for a brake pad replacement include:
- Squeaking or grinding noises when braking
- Increased stopping distance or reduced braking efficiency
- Vibration through the brake pedal when pressing down
- Dashboard brake pad warning light (if your car has electronic wear sensors)
Some vehicles are equipped with brake pad wear indicators to alert you when the pads need replacing. These can be:
- Acoustic indicators – Producing a high-pitched noise when worn.
- Electronic sensors – Triggering a dashboard warning light.
How to Check Your Brake Pads
It's essential to check your car brake pads regularly to maintain safe braking performance. You can do this yourself:
- Look through the holes in your wheel to inspect pad thickness.
- If the brake pad lining is less than 3mm, it’s time for a replacement.
- Check for uneven wear, which could indicate issues with brake calipers or discs.
For optimal performance, consider replacing your brake discs at the same time as your pads.
