How Long Should Brake Pads and Rotors Last?

On average, brake pads typically last between 10,000 to 20,000 miles. However, this can vary depending on driving habits, road conditions, and vehicle type. Some high-performance vehicles may need brake pad replacements more frequently due to their heavier weight and more aggressive braking requirements.

Rotors, on the other hand, generally last longer than brake pads but still require regular inspection. Depending on usage and driving conditions, rotors can last 50,000 to 70,000 miles.

Pay attention to any signs of wear, such as unusual noises or vibrations when braking. These could indicate that your rotors need to be serviced or replaced.

What Would Indicate That Your Brake Pedal Needs To Be Replaced?

Key indicators that your brake pedal may need replacement include:

  • Spongy feel: If your brake pedal feels spongy or sinks to the floor when pressed, this could be a problem with the brake fluid or air in the brake lines.
  • Delayed response: A delay in braking response after pressing the pedal can signal that it’s time for an inspection or replacement.
  • Noisy braking: Unusual sounds such as grinding, squeaking, or squealing when you press the brake pedal often suggest that the brake components are worn and the pedal mechanism could be affected.
  • Pedal vibration: If you feel vibrations through the brake pedal when braking, this could indicate warped brake discs or other issues that affect the pedal’s function.
  • Excessive effort needed: It may be time for a new brake pedal when it takes more effort than usual to press down on the brake pedal.
