Frequently Asked Questions
How long do front brake pads last?
Most front brake pads last between 25,000 and 60,000 miles depending on your driving style, vehicle weight, and whether you drive mostly in town or on motorways. Heavy braking and frequent city driving wear pads faster.
What are the signs that front brake pads need replacing?
Listen for a high-pitched squealing noise when braking — most pads have built-in wear indicators that create this sound. Other signs include longer stopping distances, a vibrating brake pedal, or your car pulling to one side when braking.
Can I replace just the front pads, or do I need discs too?
If your brake discs are within spec (not warped or below minimum thickness), you can replace pads alone. Most garages will measure disc thickness during the job and recommend disc replacement if needed — typically every other pad change.
Is it dangerous to drive with worn brake pads?
Yes. Completely worn pads mean metal-on-metal contact with the disc, drastically increasing stopping distances and potentially causing disc damage that turns a £150 job into a £400+ bill. If you hear grinding, get them checked immediately.
