It depends 100% on how you drive and if you tow a lot etc.

Some peoples won't last more than a couple of years, others will get 80,000 miles.
They are so easy to replace, though. Just look in there and see if they are low. If so, toss in a new set.

I hear ceramics are the way to go. They last longer and stop better.

Dont forget about having the front rotors turned too, or you may get noisy brake operation.[:@]
