Knowing how they are made, I very much doubt that. Fitting them might cure it but if the duty and the climatic conditions remain the same, it will be back.
True but so early on causing them to have issues (uhm)
Again, I’m not insinuating anything but I have heard a number of stories about short brake life where the driver had their left foot riding on the brake pedal.
In normal circumstances, perhaps a lot of stop and go traffic on a daily commute can make the brake pads wear quicker. I would think that. Spend a hour or two or more every work day in those conditions and I would not be surprised. Add to that the GVC and other systems that use the brakes.
I think the days of long lasting brake pads are ending.
I am not insinuating it's the case here either.
If drivers constantly have their left foot on the brake pedal then there is no excuse for them to say short brake life
Don't think long lasting brake pads are ending because of manufacturing process/cost cutting etc. If it is ending it's because of driving habits/style
That we can agree on.
I had two Mitsu cars with 100k each on the original brakes. One was a ‘92, the other a 2000. As for our CX5, I’m not even thinking I will see that but I may be surprised.
Along with more wear and tear on the engine

Hard to notice until it's too late!
The thing that annoys me the most is the rear brake lights. On for a period, then off followed straight away by being on again. The driver behind doesn't actually know if the other driver is slowing down or actually about to stop! (gah)
That’s a pet peeve of mine as well. In the nineties I think it was, Ford has some cars with hyperactive brake lights. I blamed Ford thinking not that many drivers could be riding the brakes.
A system needs to be devised so that when a car detects riding the brake, brake lights don't activate except when only the brake pedal is pressed.

A capacitor discharge to the left foot would soon cure the habit.
(lol)
