I want to see a picture of those brake pads.

You’re going to get new brakes and end up bouncing your face off the windshield the first time you need to actually stop.

This has to be a hybrid, where most of your braking is regenerative to charge a battery rather than using the brake pads.
I have a Toyota hybrid with 120 and the original pads. I’ve inspected them myself and there’s plenty of life left.

Is this a hybrid or electric vehicle?

You’re averaging roughly 17k miles per year? How? I feel like I drive a fuck ton and average like 10-11k

Some Ferrari’s have carbon fiber brakes which are expected to last the life of the vehicle unless it is used on a track. One of my vehicles is strictly used as a highway cruiser and the pads are at 7/8 and I last changed them 40k miles ago. Braking is environmentally unfriendly.

my wifes original tl brakes lasted to 165,000.
Just did the front brakes on our odyssey at 96kmiles, only because they were wearing uneven and i caught it too late.
We live in a rural area, on our commute most days the only time we use the brakes is when we turn into work and park, lol

Also have a Honda Civic. Hit 50k and took wheels off to change pads and they are like new it’s absolutely wild. Had it serviced and sure enough there is virtually no wear on them. New civics have a cvt transmission so the car will do a lot of engine breaking for you which is my only theory other than Honda knows how to make good brakes. Hell I had the fluids changed before pads which is nuts to me.

Is it a hybrid with regenerative braking? I have a 2011 Sonata hybrid with original pads (120k miles). The brakes outlived the engine. They never even mention the brakes when it goes into the dealership shop.

Nice. I use a shit ton of engine braking (manual car) so I had mine for about 100k kilometers. It may not be nearly as much but still a lot. I swapped them regardless of the wear. They were still fine but better to swap and have brakes that perform great than save a few bucks and die in a crash lol.

I have a ‘16 accord with 106,000 and people think I’m lying when I tell them it’s the original brake pads.
