How often should I replace the brake pads on my Kia Niro?

I've had my Kia Niro for a year now and was wondering when it's time to replace the brake pads. I'm not sure if there is a specific mileage or time frame for this. Any advice?

It's recommended to replace your brake pads every 25,000-30,000 miles. However, it's important to have them checked regularly by a mechanic to ensure they are still in good condition.

If you notice any squeaking or grinding noises while braking, it's a sign that your brake pads may need to be replaced sooner. It's always better to err on the side of caution and have them checked.

I would suggest replacing your brake pads at least every 2 years, even if you haven't reached the recommended mileage. This will help ensure your safety on the road.
