Brake pads OEM Toyota or OEM Volkswagen

When I traded our ‘17 Gsw with 191k mi. it still had original brakes all around. We try to be easy on the brakes, coast down to 40 or so if possible before using brakes at stop signs.

I run a fleet of Camrys and use Toyota pads because I've found that they produce the least brake dust and I HATE dirty wheels.

I made it to 240k on my ‘19 before I had to change the fronts. I still have 6/32 on the rear pads at 255k now too. The factory pads are crazy good

I bought my 2016 Prius used with 32k miles on it back in 2019. It now has 157k miles and the maintenance has been a breeze. Just standard oil changes every 5k, 1 transmission fluid change, two sets of tires and I don\u2019t even think I have replaced the brakes yet ..no seriously I don\u2019t think I have yet.

Rear brake pads and rotors will not have an effect on nor cause a master cylinder failure.

When I traded in my 2018 Jetta at just under 90k miles it still had the original front pads and rotors, but the rear brakes needed to be done at 60k miles, and then within my last year of ownership one of the rear calipers seized and needed to be replaced.

My only issue is squeaky brakes on reverse. The dealership told me to do some hard braking when they get squeaky, and that actually helps.

I think their break pads are not lasting long. On my 1.5 DSG Kushaq I’m also not getting the break bite which I used to get and they make screeching sounds when are applied, considering the car has only done 17k km till now.

I also have squealing brakes when they are cold and reversing. When they're done, I'll have them replaced with good aftermarket brakes.

Only issues have been the insanely squeaky brakes, the sound quality on the speakers in the cold and crappy wipers.
