Every time you hit the brakes, your car’s braking system squeezes the brake pads against the brake disc, creating enough friction to gradually slow or stop your vehicle. But all that friction takes its toll, meaning the pads gradually wear down over time. And, when the pads are no longer thick enough to exert sufficient friction on the brake disc, they must be replaced in order to keep your vehicle roadworthy.
It can be hard to tell when you need to change the brake pads without manually checking. A brake pad sensor takes out the guesswork and removes the need for manual checks by automatically providing an early warning whenever the pad thickness is close to reaching a critical level — usually around 3mm for most makes and models. This saves you time and allows you to drive with confidence. And, as brake pads are one of the items on an MOT, a brake sensor could just help you avoid a costly fail result, too.
