Brake Pad Wear

[Phoenix999]

I had my car serviced today and was told of the wear on my brake pads both front and back.

I currently have 20% wear on the front and 10% on the back. This means at the current degree of wear I could get up to 30,000 miles on the front and 60,000 miles at the rear

Who else has such little wear on their brake pads? Is this wear normal or am I just light on the foot brake

As you can see I drive a 2009 automatic estate

Hi Steve, sounds about right to me as my fronts were changed at 37,000 and the rears are still at 50% at 43,000 .

It all sounds good to me but there is one thing I forgot to mention.... I do mainly town driving so it entails a lot of stops and starts so I tend to use the brakes a lot when compared to driving on the open road.

I like this car as it is economical and quite cheap.... shame about the dealership servicing costs though :ffs:

Toyotas always seem very good on tyres & brakes. On my Avensis 1800 auto, at 41000mls, I'm about half way down on the front pads which I am pleased with. Front tyres still have good tread at this mileage although will be changed due to age cracking. Economical motoring, I think!
