How long do pads and shoes last? I understand that there is no defined answer but you must be able to give me a rough idea
My car is a 1.2 16v Clio (2002) and has 19.5k on the clock this is town miles mainly. At the first service (18k) I asked for the brakes to be checked and on the service sheet the mechanic put that they were 20% worn and so 80% ok I expected the pads to be more worn than this at 18k Also there was no mention of the rear shoes i understand that most of the braking is done through the frount wheels because of the weight of the car being thrown forward under breaking
Many Thanks any advise appreciated. Richard Jones
