Default What metric do you use to estimate remaining brake pad life on a typical economy sedan?

There is no rule of thumb for brake wear because it depends more on the
driver, vehicle location and the pad materials than anything else.


That's like saying there's no average lifespan for a person or vehicle.
o It's a copout (in my humble opinion).

Yes, there _is_ a rule of thumb.
o For example, no front disc pads last the life of the vehicle.

And as another example, no pads likely last only 10,000 miles either.

There's an AVERAGE.
o That's what I seek.
