How to properly maintain the brakes on a Ford Mondeo?

I recently purchased a used Ford Mondeo and I want to make sure I am properly maintaining the brakes. What should I regularly check and how often should I replace the brake pads? Any other tips for keeping the brakes in good condition?

As a mechanic, I highly recommend checking your brake pads every 10,000 miles or at least once a year. If you hear any unusual noises while braking, it may indicate that your pads need to be replaced.

In addition to checking the brake pads, it's important to also regularly inspect the brake fluid level and make sure it is at the correct level. Low brake fluid can affect the performance of your brakes.

I have found that using high-quality brake pads can make a big difference in the overall performance and lifespan of your brakes. It may cost a little more upfront, but it will be worth it in the long run.
