Toyota Yaris Brake Pad Replacement – How Often Should It Be Done?

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently had to replace the brake pads on my Toyota Yaris, and I’m wondering if I’m replacing them too often. I don’t drive aggressively, but it seems like I’m changing them every 20,000 km o r so.

Is this normal for a Yaris, o r could there be another issue causing premature wear? Any tips on prolonging the life of brake pads?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Replacing the brake pads on your Toyota Yaris every 20,000 km can be considered somewhat frequent, but its not uncommon, especially if you do a lot of city driving o r have certain driving habits. However, there could be factors contributing to premature wear:

Driving Habits: Frequent hard braking o r stop-and-go driving can cause the pads to wear faster.
Brake Pad Material: Softer pads o r performance-oriented pads tend to wear out more quickly.
Suspension o r Brake System Issues: Problems like sticking calipers o r misalignment can cause uneven wear.

To extend brake pad life, consider smoother braking, regular brake system checks, and ensuring proper alignment and caliper function. If the wear seems unusually fast, it’s a good idea to have the braking system inspected by a mechanic.
