There is no set mileage. It depends on many factors. How you drive, where you drive, and the speed at which you drive. I have seen them last 100,000 miles and I have seem some that need replacing at 20,000 miles. There is a warning device that will alert you to when they need replacing.

Where to put brake fluid in an 1989 Dodge Spirit?
Before you add brake fluid, are you SURE you need to add some? Because as brake pads wear, the brake fluid level goes down, but the brake pads need to be replaced then, BEFORE any brake fluid is added. Otherwise, when the brake pads ARE replaced, there will be too much brake fluid in the reservoir, and it will flow out when the pistons are pushed back into it's bore, to make room for the new pads. -Tom.
