Mostly driving habits (hard braking instead of steady gradual braking) but there are many other factors. If you do a lot of city driving, that will cause significantly more wear than if you drive mostly on the highway. Vehicle condition; were the rotors in good condition when the brakes were done and are the calipers working correctly? If the calipers are sticking, it will cause premature pad failure. Quality of the pads matter also, you know the phrase "You get what you pay for". If you can afford to buy better pads, you should...

How many miles are brake pads good for?

Depends entirely on how you drive. If you come up to stop signs and signal lights and slam on the brakes and stop hard, or you drive at high speed and make sudden stops, your brakes will not last long. If your drive with your foot on the brake expect to be replacing them quite often. However if you drive easy and let off the accelerator long before you are going to stop and do not drive fast your brakes will last a long time. The average is around 50,000 miles but you may get 75,000 miles out of the front brakes and 100,000 out of the rear brake pads. All based on how you drive.

The amount of time brakes last depends on several factors including:how often the driver must apply the brakes,how hard the driver applies the brakes,what quality of brakes (pads and/or shoes) are being used,and finally, other factors like brake fluid leaking onto the pad or shoe surfaces.The best way to determine the situation is to take off a wheel and measure the thickness of the pad or shoe periodically, at least every five to ten thousand miles.
