Why Do My Brake Pads Wear Out Too Quickly?

On my United Alpha, the brake pads seem to be getting replaced much more frequently than I expected. What factors in Pakistani driving conditions might be accelerating brake pad wear — such as stop‑and‑go traffic, dusty roads, o r aggressive braking? Could poor-quality brake pads o r incorrect installation also be a problem? How can I extend the life of my pads?

Common reasons for fast brake pad wear in Pakistan include:

Heavy stop-and-go traffic: Frequent braking in urban areas accelerates pad wear.

Dusty o r sandy roads: Abrasive particles can wear down pads faster.

Low-quality o r counterfeit pads: Some local aftermarket pads wear much faster than genuine parts.

Aggressive driving habits: Hard braking, riding the brakes downhill, o r overloading the vehicle.

Fix:

Use genuine o r high-quality pads recommended for United Alpha.

Avoid continuous hard braking use engine braking where possible.

Inspect and replace pads before they wear too thin to protect rotors.

Rotate pads front-to-back if the vehicle’s design allows, and check calipers for proper function.
