Brake Pads

Your brake pads are one of the most important parts of your MINI model. They are what allow you to stop quickly and safely.

How do Brake Pads Wear Down?

The most common way that brake pads wear down is through the friction caused by regular use of your brakes. Over time, as you use your brakes more and more, the friction material wears away until there isn't enough left to create enough friction against the rotor.

When to Replace Brake Pads

Brake pads typically need to be replaced every 30,000 to 50,000 miles. However, this can vary depending on your vehicle type, your driving habits, and the quality of your brake pads. If you do a lot of city driving or drive in stop-and-go traffic, you may need to replace your brake pads more frequently. The same is true if you do a lot of mountain driving.

If you're not sure how often to replace your brake pads, be sure to take a look at your car's owner's manual for more information.
