What is the average lifespan of a Kia Sportage brake pad?

I am wondering how often I should replace my brake pads on my Kia Sportage. Are there any indicators that will let me know when they need to be replaced? Any tips for prolonging the lifespan of the brake pads?

The average lifespan of brake pads on a Kia Sportage is around 30,000 to 70,000 miles. However, this can vary depending on driving habits and road conditions.

There are a few signs that your brake pads may need to be replaced, such as a screeching or grinding noise when braking, a vibrating brake pedal, or a longer stopping distance. It's important to get your brake pads checked regularly to ensure your safety on the road.

To prolong the lifespan of your brake pads, avoid harsh braking and try to anticipate stops to reduce the amount of wear on the pads. It's also important to get your brakes checked regularly by a professional and replace them when necessary.
