Rear brakes on cars from the 90’s also still used drums, not discs, which are much more durable.
If the vehicle was driven conservatively it’s not unusual to see the original factory drums and even pads on it well into the 200k range. My Wrangler was NOT driven conservatively, and even I only needed one set of pads and to have the drums re-machined once.


At 25 percent wear the rear brakes project to last to 600,000 miles, which is a good deal longer than I will last. I do drive conservatively.

No cranking the e-brake and doing some sick drifts? :)
Little cars can be fun. My little bro had a Mini Cooper S for several years before he got into Subarus. Even with the supercharger it didn’t have much in the way of top speed but the acceleration and handling made it feel like playing Mariocart IRL when you thrashed it. I stole it from him every chance I got haha.
