How often should I replace the brake pads on my Toyota Prius?

I recently purchased a used Toyota Prius and I am not sure how often I should replace the brake pads. Is there a specific mileage or time frame I should be aware of?

Hello Emily, Congratulations on your new Prius! Generally, brake pads should be replaced every 50,000 miles. However, it's best to check your owner's manual for the specific mileage recommendation for your Prius model.

Hi Emily, The brake pads in your Toyota Prius typically last longer than traditional pads due to regenerative braking. You should still have them inspected every 25,000 miles and replaced if they are worn down to less than a quarter inch.

Hey Emily, Brake pads can wear down differently depending on your driving habits. It's always a good idea to get them inspected annually, regardless of mileage. If you notice any squeaking or grinding noises, it's best to get them replaced as soon as possible.
