Yeah, my VE id.3 has drums on the back and disks on the front. Apparently the brake pads are effectively life-of-the-vehicle items under normal driving conditions.


I’ve only had to change them one time on any car newer than 1990, after ~200k miles/10 years of use. For most people that qualifies as life of the vehicle, but there was plenty of life left.


The drum brakes or the rotors? Certainly not the disk brake pads!


Yeah, the pads lasted that long. It was a manual and I did engine break pretty often.
