Many motorists in Ireland replace their brake pads far too late, often waiting until a harsh metallic grinding noise occurs. On average, car brake pads last between 30,000 and 70,000 kilometres, which typically equates to two to five years of driving. You can easily determine their wear by the squeal of the sensors, an increased stopping distance, or when the thickness of the friction material layer drops below 3 mm. Checking their condition every few months helps prevent expensive damage to the brake discs and ensures complete safety on the road.
