That is strictly a function of your driving style and the type of driving. Brake pads can wear as fast as ten thousand miles or last even longer than one hundred thousand miles, depending on how often and how hard the brake pedal is pressed.

If the brakes are used so often that they overheat, or if the driver "rides" the brake pedal, the rotors will warp, resulting in a pulsing sensation when you use moderate braking.

In any case, brakes are generally quite durable, but drivers are quite unpredictable.
