“Brakes” and “brake pads” are often Pre-Owned interchangeably. However, there’s a clear difference between the two:
On average, your typical brake pad will last about 40,000 to 50,000 miles. However, this doesn’t take into account differences in driving habits. For example, if you tend to be heavy on the brakes often, especially with a trailer in tow, you’re adding extra strain to your brake pads. Stomping on the brakes like this will wear them a bit faster than if you coast to a stop.
