Brake pads OEM Toyota or OEM Mercedes

Is your corolla a hybrid? The hybrids have regenerative braking that will make them last a lot longer.

I had a 2013 Prius for 9 years and never replaced the stock pads.

2010 Toyota Corolla lasted 150,000 miles on the stock brake pads.

My 18 camry hybrid i just traded in had 145k on original pads (not even close to worn out)

My 2011 Prius got to 250k on the original pads and rotors.

I have a 2016 Camry & made to 200K miles before I had to change the brake pads.

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.

OEM. Though they do produce quite a bit of dust.

However, on Toyotas, I always pay the extra money for genuine Toyota discs and pads. They’re still made in Japan or the US. Whereas all of the aftermarket options for Toyotas are Chinese-made junk. And since those aftermarket ones wear out so fast, they end up being the more expensive option per mile vs the genuine parts.

We had an W211 and it was awesome, except of course for the whole brake recall fiasco. Thankfully Mercedes eventually sorted that.
