brake pad usually last quiet long
but it depends how u drive also
but bear in mind....i recommend u change it every 2 years
why?...cuz if u dn't change it...even if it still has alot
when abt 3-4 years u change it...the disc will have uneven and will produce sound even u change the brake pad to new
i know cuz my saga..i just changed mine like 6 months ago...the brake pad is 3 1/2 years old...still has alot despite i didn't 3-4 time emergency brake
and it has grinding sound when i brake lightly...when see closely got uneven on disc

My car still under warranty (1 and a half years). I was quoted RM250 from Perodua centre to change the brake pad. Quite expensive. I wanna ask you sifus, if I change outside, whats the estimated price, and will it void my warranty? Thanks.

LOL, I went back to the SC today and they quoted me at first RM210, then later RM190, a step cheaper from last time of RM250. Oh well, I guess its time to move to another Perodua SC or workshop.

If you change the brake pads at SC, yes it will cost a lot.

Usually i will buy bendix brake pad from automotive garage and then install at outside workshop.

Way cheaper and good braking power than stock brake pads...
