What Causes Brake Pad Wear? 

Brake pads are the pieces of your brake system that directly contact the brake rotors to cause friction and slow down your vehicle on the Hubbard streets. This friction and the related heat is the reaction that causes brake pads to progressively wear down over time. This results in your brake pads needing replacement.

A few factors can influence the rate at which your brake pads wear down. When you ask, “How long should brake pads last?” the answer to that question depends on your driving style and the brake pads you use. As a result, the answer to “How long do ceramic brake pads last?” might differ from the answer if you used a different type of brake pad. This is our list of the factors that influence how long 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?

Now that you know the above information, we should also note that brake pads have a different rate of wear for each make and model, as well as for each brand of brake pad and the pads’ quality level. This influences how long brake pads last. The answer to “How long should brake pads last?” is anywhere from 20,000 to 75,000 miles, depending on all the above factors.
