Brake Pad Longevity

[Big Kev]

Wotsha Mellow Fembers,

My 2018 RX450h just turned over 38k miles, and the garage who supplied and serviced it originally have no record of having done pads or discs. Much as I understand its electric motor(s) are partly responsible for some of the braking, do you think it feasible I am running on the original brakes at 38k miles…? I am also aware original owner may have done them elsewhere.

They are not  the quietest pads in use so I may change to another brand whilst discs are still ok.

Yes 38k should easily be possible. My wife's NX had disks and pads changed at about 60k I think and my RX has original ones at about 44k so far.

Yes most likely the originals due to the regenerative braking, you will also notice a lot less brake dust accumulating on the wheels.

Probably are originals. My RX450h was on 65k original pads
