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.
Rotor disc brakes were rare. Drum brake drums would last the life of the car (120,000 miles) for an average driver, if they were never turned. I have never turned a drum or rotor on my own vehicles (cars, trucks, and motorcycles). I have a 1994 Toyota pickup that I bought new and I put front brake pads on it two years ago.
