The brakes will give you signs of wear prior to needing to get them serviced or replaced. It also depends on how you drive. I’m at 81k on the original brakes right now and still have life left in them.
I have a 2021 Corolla and the stock pads are on 70k miles, I've never had a new car with the pads lasting this long. There is a a lot of material left and I'm definitely getting the exact OEMs for replacements.
OEM pads made it ~62K on my '17 OR with a lot of towing. Rotors didnt have any wear.
I used a Toyota corrola for work . Hybrid 3rd generation. IV done 250k miles and so far . No mechanical faults . Only faults have been brakes . That's another thing due to the regen braking you can expect 150 k miles from your pads . Your disks will likely rust before they wear
I got Mazda 2 2013 and just had a replacement for both front brake pads and discs - $330 for the parts. $120 for labour.
Im late to this but ill chime in anyways.
Mine is a 2008 AWD GT with every option. Mileage is 130k. And I run on Regular gas.
By todays standards its a gas guzzler, and even thirsty in 2008, but CRVs werent hugely better.
Ive done nothing to it. Still on original brake pads. And recently replaced the rear wheel bearings.
I dont know why im so lucky except that i do oil changes frequently.
One thing about driving older cars is they arent narcing your driving habits to Mazda. Good to know about insurance.
Since it is top line, it has the Bose system which is decent, but i replaced the head so i could get Bluetooth.
I sincerely believe this car has at least 5 years life left in it.
Brake pads and OEM tyres lasted more than 100 000 Km.
My cx9 was at 3mm on the rears at 52k. Get a caliper compression kit and it yourself. It's not very hard. I did my rears a month back in my driveway for $130.
I put OEM Brakes on my ‘19 3 GT AWD. I’m 20K KM into them, and they pulse like mad when I brake above 90KM/h. Absolute fucking trash. The factory brakes also did this, above 90KM, but started around 50K into their life.
Mazda brakes are notoriously shit. They’re garbage. Buy a set of PowerStop brakes and be done with it. They’re far superior to the Mazda brakes. Go on any forum and you’ll see countless people having the same issue as you. New brakes between 15-20,000 miles. Me included. I’ve owned 2 6s from new. Both needed brakes around 20,000 miles. Both times I put on PowerStops and never had another issue.
