How many kilometers should the brake pads of Nissan Tiida be replaced?

Nissan Tiida brake pads should be replaced every 50,000 kilometers. The method for replacing brake pads is as follows: 1. Before replacing the brake pads, open the cover of the brake fluid reservoir in the engine compartment and check the brake fluid level. If the brake fluid level is above the maximum limit, some should be sucked out to prevent overflow during the replacement process; 2. Prepare the new brake pads to be replaced and remove the wheel where the brake is located. Be careful to avoid scratching the rim during the removal process; 3. Use a wrench with a socket to remove the bolts of the brake caliper, then take out the brake pads. If there is a brake sensor line, remove it first. Check if the brake pads are excessively worn or cracked, and proceed to the next step of replacement if necessary; 4. Since the brake caliper may have a lot of sand or dirt, clean it thoroughly with a cloth and apply anti-noise paste to prevent noise during braking; 5. Use a piston press pump to press the piston to its limit, then install the new brake pads onto the brake caliper. After installing the new brake pads, reattach the brake sensor line if present, and tighten the guide bolts to complete the installation; 6. After installation, cover the reservoir cap, get into the car, and press the brake pedal several times to reset the brake. Then check the brake fluid level to ensure it is within the appropriate range; 7. After replacement, test drive the car to check if the braking effect is achieved.
There is no absolute standard for the mileage at which the brake pads of the Nissan Tiida should be replaced, as it largely depends on your driving habits and the vehicle's condition. Having driven the Tiida for several years, I typically find that they need to be inspected and replaced between 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. However, if you frequently brake in city traffic, such as during rush hour with many traffic lights, the wear can be faster, possibly requiring replacement as early as 20,000 kilometers. During regular maintenance at the 4S shop, I usually ask the technician to check the brake pad thickness—if it's below 3 millimeters, it's time for a replacement. Some versions come with wear indicators; if you hear sharp noises when braking or see a warning light, those are clear signals. Delaying replacement can lead to longer braking distances, increasing the risk of accidents, especially at high speeds or in rainy conditions. I recommend checking them at every maintenance interval, roughly every six months or 10,000 kilometers. Remember, safety is more important than saving money—don’t delay replacing them.
