Brake pad life depends on driving style, vehicle weight, traffic conditions and the quality of the braking components fitted. Some vehicles may require replacement after 30,000 kilometres, while others can travel significantly further before servicing is required.

Frequent stop-start driving generally increases brake wear because the system is used more often. Vehicles that regularly tow trailers, boats or caravans may also experience accelerated wear.

Regular inspections allow technicians to monitor pad thickness and identify potential issues before braking performance is affected. This helps drivers plan maintenance and avoid unexpected repairs.
