How often should I change the brake pads on my Ford S-Max?

I recently purchased a Ford S-Max and I'm wondering how often I should replace the brake pads. I want to make sure my car stays safe and reliable.

It is recommended to replace brake pads every 50,000 miles or at least every 3 years, whichever comes first. However, it's always a good idea to check the condition of your brake pads periodically and replace them sooner if needed.

The frequency of brake pad replacements can vary depending on your driving habits and the type of brake pads you use. Keep an eye on your dashboard indicator for brake wear, or have a mechanic check during regular maintenance appointments.

I've had my Ford S-Max for 7 years now and I've only had to replace the brake pads twice. Make sure to use high quality pads and don't wait too long to replace them to avoid potential damage to other brake components.
