Thinking about it, I've done 70k in my car. The brakes were fairly well worn when I bought it (possibly original, at 40k) and I have changed the front pads and disks once, the rear pads and disks once, and it might have had an additional set of front pads. I can't remember. Oh, and a fluid change or two, of course.

Kevin

Changed my discs as there were tiny cracks in the old ones and they were 4 years old and quite worn.

I remember being told new discs for every 3 or 4 pad sets

Every other pad set seems about average for me. Modern pads give the disks a harder life.
Kevin

As does driving like a idiot

I normally get 3 - 4 sets of pads from discs, but then I tend to change the pads once about half worn.

Tripped over my own word censor, rather thing

Must admit, I was surprised how much wear there is on my discs as they are only 6 months old

Send them to me. .............I change mine when the old fashioned audible warning sensor tells me they are worn out.

You are welcome to them, but the reason I change them is I've invariably knackered them - once they get about half worn, they seem to regularly cook far too easily...

A quick rub with an old rasp, they,ll be good as new.

you could list them on the bay of fleas. Ive seen worse things on there - like used cambelts.
