Normally, it depends on how you drive. If the driver is heavy on the brakes, then the brake pads will last less time than someone with a light foot on the brake pedal. Brake pads can last for tens of thousands of miles, but replaced at the first signs of wear, which is the squealing sound of the wear indicators. Don't wait when you first hear the squeal, or else you might start damaging the rotors or the steel wheel that helps you stop. These audible indicators really save you money!
Hard driving conditions and other factors will reduce the lifespan and cause the brakes to wear down faster. These include; high speed braking, geography (hills and terrain, such as San Francisco), and of course the size and weight of the vehicle.
