I traded my 2009 e92 BMW with 30,000 km's which I purchased brand new in 2009 and I never changed the pads on it. It all depends on the style of driving.

i usually get ~20k on my f150's front pads i think my last set was closer to 15 but i do plenty of towing. it takes a lot to stop 13000 lbs, so as mentioned above its all about how you drive.

My front pads wore out after 70,000km of driving, not sure how old the pads are since I took ownership.
My rear pads are worned too with the same mileage, waiting for parts to come in. It's squealing and moaning like a Japanese porno.

bought my car at 94,000km
Now at 130,000km. a little over 2 years.
Pads were on the car when I bought them, and they still have plenty to go. roughly "30%"
That's with one lapping day put in and daily driven.
oem nissin/honda pads
I should check them soon, since I've switch to spoon calipers

Mine're replaced at around 20-30kkm, both on 2009/2010 civics, I think the ones on the family x-trail may last quite a bit longer, but haven't been paying attention to that. It depends on what car you have, how you drive, and where you drive.
I live on a mountain, and commute between Port Moody and UBC mainly during busy hours of the day, going as easy as I can on the gas and brakes. The other Civic goes between Port Moody and anywhere between Hope, Richmond, and North Van.

Almost 20k on my ram 1500 and last time I checked I'm Pretty sure I had 80+ % left. I can be a fairly aggressive driver sometimes too, but have really calmed as I have aged. I suspect I still have 70% left on the fronts, more on the rears. Have done some brake stands though so that always increases rear pad wear.  | |

i believe i changed mine with OEM Honda pads about 3 yrs ago. average of about 15,000km/yr on the EF as a daily. looks like i have about 50-60% left?
as a side note, my previous pads had about 1-3mm left and they still felt normal LOL.

Mazdaspeed3, changed front pads at 55k kms, ~30% left. Rotors have about 50% left, will change those out next year. Rear pads are 70-80% thickness.
CRV, changed front pads at 74k kms, ~40% left. Rotors are still at the new thickness.
Rear pads are 60-70% thickness.

Depends, automatic or standard.
Standard, around 5-6 years.
Automatic, 2 years max.
Why can't they just designed an auto tranny that is locked up all the time instead of free wheeling.

I mean torque converter type.
Dual clutch is rather slow off the line, compared to a real auto tranny.
Torque multiplication ftw!

I have carbon ceramic brake disks (PCCB). Under normal street driving, these brakes will probably last the life of the car.
