2015 Brake longevity and DIY pad replacement

[burrpenick]

I've got 42K miles on my 2015 Rogue, no issues yet, when can I expect to replace the pads, and do the front or rears wear out first on this vehicle. I know, usually the fronts, but my 2006 Mustangs rear discs wore first, so I was thinking maybe 4 wheel disk vehicles are different than the older rear drum cars?

And, what pads w/be suggested for replacement- not a racer here, just a long lasting fade free, reasonably priced pad. Any tricks to replacing these myself?

OK, Im sure most of you here know how many miles you got on your original brake pads? Please........

About 38k on the front and 79k on the rear. I’ve come to like a Bosch quietcast rotor and akebono pad combination available at rock auto. I stay as far away from the junk chinese crap as I can. Bosch is usually made in Europe and akebono is made in the USA.

Remove the front wheels to get a good look at your brake pads to see how much brake pad material is remaining. If there is less than 3 or 4 mm of material remaining you should change them.

Here are a few brake pad replacement videos for the Rogue you can take a look at.

I try not to let my brakes get to the point of making noise. I take the tires off occasionally or at least twice a year to see what’s going on. I caught them before they started grinding.

When inspecting keep in mind the inside pad typically wears faster.

My oem brakes looked practically new after a decade. I know I changed 1 pair early on because of noise at the dealer but I had so much material left like they were not used after 95k miles.

Only reason I changed them because my breaks were sticking. I just bought Nissan advantage ones so I threw them my old ones away reluctantly.

Not a heavy braker, but now I’m not too concern of being so light footed on my brakes. Bought new rotors too.

I never maintained brakes ever until recently. Yup YouTube.

We've got 59,000 miles on our OEM brakes on our 2015. About 50/50 HWY/City.
Still have decent amount of pad left. I'm not expecting to need to do them for at least 2 more years. YMMV.

Good to hear from everyone- seems like the pads wear very well on these Rogues. Since mine is at 43K, I plan to pull a wheel and look, but hoping I can let it wear down to say maybe 1/8" showing on the outside pad- or IF the indicator starts making noise.
