OEM ceramic brake pads can last 60k to 90k miles.. But they're not that expensive if you change them yourself. Very easy on Mazda, best changed at about 50k miles of normal driving, before they wear too much more, to keep quality OEM rotors for longer.
I bought a well maintained 2014 Mazda 3 hatchback with 60k miles two years ago for $8500. I’ve done rear and front brakes, as well as a rear wheel bearing in that time.
9 years working at Mazda and also a master tech, to me always oem fluid. No matter what, I for everything matter in fact. Seen lots of after makers stuff and even brake pads.
Just replaced acc drive belt, plugs and brake pads. One of the easiest cars to fix I've ever worked on. Overall, best car I've ever had.
I have put 10k miles on it since then. The car has given me no issues whatsoever other than changing the brake pads and sensors.
235 km/h on the german autobahn, from one border to the other, no issue! Except for the numerous heavy breaking... Going from over 200 to less than 100 several times in a row and you start loosing confidence in the brakes.
Pacific Mazda has been okay; they only pushed an unnecessary break maintenance so far.
I wouldn\u2019t get them again. Occasionally noisy at low speed, very unsettling brake feel in heavy rain/water, debris can get trapped between the caliber and wheel creating an ungodly noise. That being said, I have 82k miles on mine and still original pads.
How about my 2021 Mazda 6 Grand Touring Reserve with a measly 14,000 miles and the dealer says the rear brakes are rusted and grooved with photo evidence.
Jeg kører også Mazda, deres bremser holder ikke super længe. Da jeg skulle have skiftet skiver og klodser foran gav de et tilbud på 14.000 og forklarede den høje pris med at de jo bruger originale dele. Rimelig skørt når de originale dele ikke holder.
