How often do the brake pads need to be replaced on an Audi A2?

I own an Audi A2 and I'm wondering how often I should replace the brake pads. Can I tell when they need to be changed by looking at them?

It depends on your driving habits and the type of brake pads you have installed, but on average, brake pads should be replaced every 30,000 to 70,000 miles.

You can visually inspect the brake pads for wear and tear. If they are less than 1/4 inch thick, it's time to replace them.

Another important factor to consider is how often you use your brakes while driving. Frequent and aggressive braking can wear the pads down faster.
