What is the wear limit of brake pads?

[SanAdalynn]

Brake pad wear limit is 1.2mm, but in practice, manufacturers usually require the replacement threshold for brake pads to be higher than this value. Below are the parameter requirements and replacement cycle details for brake pads: Brake pad parameter requirements: The technical parameter requirements for brake pads in the vehicle manual mainly include two aspects: one is the thickness standard of the brake pad, and the other is the maintenance limit. Different brands have varying requirements for these two parameters. For example, the Honda Civic requires a brake disc thickness of 9.5-10.5mm, with a maintenance limit of 1.6mm. Brake pad replacement cycle: Typically, the replacement mileage for front brake pads is 30,000-50,000 kilometers, while rear brake pads can last up to 120,000-150,000 kilometers. If you notice softer braking or reduced braking performance during use, it's advisable to check the wear condition of the brake pads and replace them promptly.
