How long can brake pads last? Brake pads last from 25,000 miles to 70,000 miles depending on their design and material. Brake pads are part of the braking system of every vehicle. Designed to handle high friction, when the driver presses the brake pedal, the brake pads press into the rotors, slowing the wheels to stop the vehicle.
How long do brake pads last? The two pads on the top of the photo are about 2 millimeters thick and badly worn. The bottom pad, fresh from the box, is 12 millimeters thick. The glazing on the old pads (a typical problem), reduced their frictional capacity. See more pictures of brakes.
