How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors on a 2017 Toyota Prius?

• Brake pad life depends on driving habits and conditions; many Prius owners expect pads to last 30,000–70,000 miles. Rotors often outlive pads but should be inspected every service interval for wear, warping, or scoring.
• Routine inspections identify uneven wear, brake fluid condition, and hybrid system integration issues—proactive checks extend component life and avoid sudden failures.
• Replacing pads and rotors together when needed delivers more consistent braking performance and can save money over time by preventing premature wear and repeat labor costs.
