I got like 70k on my HB and still got like 45-49% left on the front and the rear....i resurfaced the front rotor once and clean and readjust the rear...so far its good for me...

Just passed 110,000 with original pads and rotors and still have a quite bit left (more than my wifes 2007 prius

)

I have 115,000 miles on my 2009 HB and still have all the original brake components. I plan on doing a brake job in the near future though.

i think the brake wear really depends on how you drive. obviously if you are in NYC and doing stop and go all the time, you will wear the brake/rotor much faster than someone like me who only drive on a highway. Pretty much no braking for me and I was on my original pad for like 100K. I only replaced mine was because firestone in my neighborhood had a $99 break job with a set of Wagner thermoquiet ceramic pads. Considering that a shop charged me $40 to cut the rotors on another car, I thought it was a decent price for not doing it myself.

I have a bit over 223k miles at the moment on my car and I had the brakes checked at 207,165 miles and at that point, each corner-----LF, RF, LR, RR, = worn 20%/80% remaining.

Just replaced the front pads and rotors last week, about 67K miles. Both rotors had lips on each side, the pads were wearing unevenly too. The passenger side rotor had a bizarre wear pattern, it looked like about 50% of the contact patch that the driver side had (no pulling or shaking/vibrations while braking though). It must be all of the salt they put on the roads up here in the winter... The piston-side/inboard pad was worn a bit more than the outboard pad, but the sliders looked okay and it moved freely by hand.

2 or 3 sets of pads a year, or 20k miles. Rotors seem to last around 1.5 years or 30k miles.

Yeah, the car sees some track time LOL.

Also, "warped" rotors are the pad's or your fault, not the rotor.

im at 103k km and i need to replace them, not really because the pads are low but because the rotors are warped and getting worse quickly. i did buy the new pads and rotors last weekend but havent had time to change them. im debating if i should just get the old ones turned, still lots of life left in pads
