How long do brake discs last

There are no hard and fast rules on this. A set of brake pads can last from anywhere between 20and 60miles – possibly more. A major factor in the lifespan of the pads is down to the way the vehicle is used and driven. Want more useful content like this sent straight to your inbox?

How Long Do Brakes Last ? This is how to know when to replace them.

Due to the amount of use that the brake rotors get, they will have to be replaced over time. The brake rotors on a car usually last anywhere between 50and 70miles.

The constant friction of the brake pads can create a lot of heat. If the rotors are really hot and then water from a puddle is thrown on them, it can cause them to warp. Like most things you buy know a days, you get what you pay for try and save up for some descent ones and see how that goes.

Brake life span all depend on the driver. Not only do you have to brake hard to wear down your brakes, you can wear.

Corrosion occurs by underuse as well, 4-years (or 60k miles) is about right for rears. What is the life expectancy of brake discs?

Why do front brake pads and discs wear out faster? Usually, mechanics and manufacturers would give a 30to 70miles (42to 116kilometers ) lifespan for brand new brake pads.

However, some may last longer or, unfortunately, way shorter. It all depends on how you drive. Still, there are other various factors that may affect your brake pads’ wear. In average use on an average car with an average driver, front discs should give K miles, possibly more.

However, if the car is used very intermittently and not very hard they could die due to corrosion in way less than that. Depending on the model and how the previous owner (s) used the brakes, a set of pads could last anywhere from to 80K miles.

Discs are considered consumable items these days and a general rule of thumb is a new set of discs every 2nd pad change. I replaced all four discs on my Eat 78k miles. They were beyond gone. Only done one set of pads in my ownership (same time as the discs ) so no idea how long the OEM pads last.

Front brakes never felt sharp since I had the car. I can hear a grinding noise which i presume is from the front. Discs have slight line marks on them from a visual inspection. Shall I haut change the lot?

The brake discs on a vehicle can last anywhere from 50to 120km – and sometimes more. Like brake pads, they should be replaced in pairs.

Your average brake pad is engineered to last about 50miles, though driving styles, use, and environmental factors play factors in their longevity. Performance-oriented brake pads trade. Mechanics and manufacturers have a loosely agreed upon mileage range from around 30to 70miles (42to 116kilometers), but stories of pads lasting a mere 1miles (16 kilometers) to an astounding 100miles (169kilometers) abound. These far-ranging numbers are understandable.

Some drivers need to change brake pads every 30miles or less. Others can go over 60miles before needing a brake job. Is it possible to make brake pads last 100K miles? A good disc can usually last brake pads.

However if the disc has warp before and send for skimming, then different story. Some need to be replaced after 200 while others can last for 70miles – it all depends on the factors listed above. Generally, ceramic pads last longer than all the others and are very durable. On the other han metallic pads are quite effective for heavier vehicles but can be quite noisy and wear out quickly.

Take such factors into consideration and you won’t find it difficult making your decision. Resin pads are softer, and will last less mileage, particularly in wetter weather, but still should last far longer than 1miles. I would say that the rotors are damaged from being ridden metal on metal before, and need to be replace along with new brake pads. My last car (A Volvo SD5) - did 75K miles on a set of discs and pads.

Mine was in for 60k service at audi dealer and they said front discs and pads needed changed also - £300. Then went and bought new discs and pads for front £74tot Euro Car Parts.
