Is it necessary to regularly replace the brake pads on an Audi A5?

I have owned my Audi A5 for 3 years now and I am wondering if it is necessary to regularly replace the brake pads or if they can last longer than that. I do mostly city driving and some occasional highway driving.

It is recommended to have your brake pads checked at least once a year or every 10,000-15,000 miles. This is to ensure optimal performance and safety while driving. Even with mostly city driving, it is important to regularly check and replace your brake pads as repeated stop and go traffic can put more strain on them.
