How many kilometers can a set of brake pads last?

[Zara]

The mileage depends on the car's usage. Generally, they need to be replaced every 50,000 kilometers, while some drivers can go up to 100,000 kilometers before replacement. In fact, under normal driving conditions, the service life of front brake pads is 30,000 kilometers, while rear brake pads last about 60,000 kilometers. Rust on car brake discs is a normal phenomenon. Here are detailed explanations about it: 1. Minor rust: Minor rust often occurs, such as after the car is left in the rain overnight or when it doesn't dry properly after washing. In such cases, continuous braking while driving can help remove the rust, as the friction between the brake disc and the brake caliper during braking will wear off the rust over multiple applications. 2. Severe rust: If the brake disc has severe rust, the entire surface may be covered with a thick layer of rust. Stubborn rust can also accelerate the wear of brake pads, so it's necessary to take the car to a repair shop to have the brake discs polished.
