Hi guys, how long does brake pads on Toyota Quantum last?. The vehicle is used as taxi. It does about 300km a day. The break pads are gone;metal on metal. In for 15K service. :mad:

Will depend ENTIRELY on driving style, loads etc.

I killed a set of front pads on one of my cars in 19000km so this is possible.

It is being used as a taxi so there's a lot of stopping and braking harshly involved is it not?

change them every 10 000 km. Remember a lot of hard braking all the times. Damm your driver is not working hard.

300km /day?

You have a 3ton+ vehicle when loaded with lots of braking so those pads ain't gonna last that long.

Brother has a fleet of Qunatums as taxis, if i remember correctly.
He does services(oil,filters and spark plugs) every 2 months or less and brake pads and rear linings can changed frequently because he is ocd with maintenance on his taxis.

That’s not ocd, that’s doing what every car owner should be doing.

you don’t fix what’s not broken.

Well considering how most taxi's are driven I'm not surprised it last only 15k. Ask your driver to go a bit slower.
