I just bought a Ford Kuga and I want to make sure I take care of it properly. How often should I change the brake pads to ensure the safety and longevity of my car?
ReplyAs a general rule, it is recommended to change your brake pads every 30,000 to 70,000 miles. However, it is important to pay attention to your driving habits and the condition of your brakes. If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or use your brakes more aggressively, you may need to change them more often. It's also a good idea to have them inspected by a professional every 10,000 miles.
I personally change my brake pads every year during my routine maintenance. It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your brakes. I've had bad experiences with worn out brake pads and it's not worth the risk.
