Keeping track of your vehicle's brake health isn't always easy. That doesn't mean, however, that there aren't ways to monitor and track the longevity and condition of them.

The lifespan of brakes will always vary from vehicle to vehicle. Not only does it depend on your vehicle's make and model, but it also differs based on the type of car you drive. For example, someone who drives an SUV may see more significant brake wear than someone who owns a sedan.

Another factor that determines how often you need brake service is your driving habits. If you drive every day and in more stop-and-go situations, your brake condition is likely to deteriorate much faster than someone who only drives a few times a week.

You can always turn to your vehicle's owner's manual to find out how long your car's brakes are designed to last. Most brakes are typically manufactured to last anywhere between 20,000 and 65,000 miles but, once again, that'll vary depending on the car you drive and how you drive it.
