It depends on climate, usage, brake parts, driving patterns, and more as to how long your brake pads will last. Brake pads can last anywhere from 20,000 to 80,000 miles, depending on multiple factors. Brake fluid can last from 2-5 years, but your owner’s manual can offer some guidance, so consult it first.
