How to properly maintain the brake pads on my Vauxhall Mokka?

I recently purchased a Vauxhall Mokka and I want to make sure I am properly maintaining the brake pads to ensure longevity and safety. What steps should I take to properly care for my brake pads and when should I plan on getting them replaced?

It is important to check your brake pads regularly, about every 6 months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first. If you notice any squealing sounds or reduced braking power, it is time to get them checked immediately.

To ensure your brake pads wear evenly, avoid sudden and unnecessary braking. Instead, try to maintain a safe following distance and anticipate stops ahead. This will not only help prolong the life of your brake pads, but also improve fuel efficiency.

When it comes time to replace your brake pads, it is important to use high quality, OEM (original equipment manufacturer) brake pads. These will provide the best performance and are specifically designed for your Vauxhall Mokka.
