It depends on your driving style and the condition of the calipers. If you ride the brakes or otherwise drive in such a manner as to cause the brakes to overheat, the rotors will warp prematurely. If you are constantly in stop-and-go driving conditions you will wear out the brake pads and rotors much faster than someone who drives greater distances and seldom uses the brakes. I've seen some people who get little more than 20,000 miles from brakes and/or rotors. My last brake pads and rotors had over 70,000 miles when I changed them, but then, we drive long distances here.

How often should brake rotors be replaced?
From a rotor spec sheet, find the minimum thickness, from there take about a micrometer and measure. If it is below the minimum then you need to change your brake rotors. Rotors do not generally need to be replaced unless there has been extensive damage to them from driving on extremely worn down break pads. If you waited too long to change your break pads then you may want to consider replacing them. If not, you don’t need to worry about it.
