When should the brake discs of the Teana be replaced?

The Teana's brake discs do not have a fixed replacement cycle, and they can normally be used for over 30,000 kilometers. The original Teana brake discs use Hitachi brake pads, and there are no special requirements for the brake pads—any that fit the caliper size can be used. The Teana is a flagship mid-to-high-end luxury sedan under NISSAN, based on Nissan's FF-L platform. In terms of exterior design, the Teana adopts Nissan's new family-style appearance, with a front fascia similar to the new Sylphy and incorporating Infiniti's dynamic design elements into the body lines, making the car more stylish and sporty. Regarding dimensions, the Teana measures 4850mm in length, 1795mm in width, and 1475mm in height.
I've had my Teana for over five years, and when to replace the brake discs really depends on driving habits and road conditions. Generally, it's recommended to have them inspected every 50,000 to 70,000 kilometers. Since I drive daily in city traffic with frequent braking, the wear is faster. Last time at 60,000 km, I noticed grooves on the disc surface and the thickness had dropped below the manufacturer's standard of 22mm. At that point, the braking distance increased slightly and there was some squeaking, so I immediately went to the shop for new ones. Safety isn't something to take lightly—don't wait until an accident happens to regret it. Regular maintenance where mechanics measure the thickness is crucial and can save money by preventing damage to other components. Pay attention to unusual noises or a softer pedal feel during daily driving—these are signals that action is needed.
