How often should I replace my Kia Niro's brake pads?

I have a 2018 Kia Niro and I'm wondering when I should replace my brake pads. Is it dependent on mileage or should I just wait until I notice they are worn down? Thanks in advance!

It is recommended to replace your brake pads every 50,000 miles or as soon as they start to show signs of wear and tear. However, it's always a good idea to have them checked during regular maintenance check-ups.

Ultimately, it is up to the discretion of the mechanic, but it's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your brakes. Getting them checked every 20,000 miles is a good rule of thumb.

I had to replace my brake pads at 30,000 miles, but I do a lot of city driving which puts more strain on them. So, depending on your driving habits, it may be necessary to replace them earlier.
