How often do brakes and Clutch need replacement? 

Heavy traffic wears out your clutch and brakes more than the open highway. So if you’re living in a city, or in an area with heavy traffic, it’s more likely that your clutch will wear out faster. 

Certain driving habits like frequent gear shifting also tend to accelerate the wearing and tearing of clutch and brakes. 

A clutch usually lasts between 60,000-100,000 miles, but its lifespan is highly dependent on the level of use, wear and tear. So it’s good to get your clutch tested every 60,000 miles. 

On the other hand, brake pads are generally thought to be good from anywhere between 30,000-35,000 miles. However, there are certain driving conditions and habits which can cause early wear and tear of brakes.  When it comes to brakes, you can never be too careful. So it’s good to get your brakes tested between every 10,000 to 20,000 miles.
