I looked at/intended to replace my pads at ~86,000. They still had over 50% life left (replaced front anyway for the lulz). Holding the new next to the old showed no difference on shoes, and only slight wear on pads. Half the life of my Yaris is in hilly areas, and I thought I was running the brakes hard.

You will need to adjust the rear shoe "star wheel" to stiffen the brake and parking brake over time.
