How often should the brakes be replaced on an Audi A3?

I recently purchased a used Audi A3 and I'm wondering how often I should plan on replacing the brakes. I've heard that Audis can be expensive to maintain so I want to be prepared. Any advice?

Hello Jessica, congratulations on your new Audi A3. The frequency of brake replacements depends on your driving habits and the type of brake pads you have. Generally, brake pads should be replaced every 30,000 to 70,000 miles. It's important to pay attention to any warning signs such as squeaking or grinding noises, longer stopping distances, or vibrations when braking. Make sure to check your owner's manual for specific recommendations for your Audi A3.
