All 2010 Mark X variants run disc brakes up front and at the rear, with a separate drum-in-hat parking brake shoe inside the rear rotor.

On this Mark X, the brake pads clamp the rotors to turn the car’s momentum into heat, giving confident stopping power and keeping ABS and stability control happy. Good pads make the pedal feel crisp, help shorten stopping distances, and keep rotor wear even. They’re the quiet achievers that cop the brunt of daily driving, so quality and condition matter.

There’s no fixed kilometre limit that suits every driver, but regular checks are smart. A practical rhythm is to inspect pad thickness and rotor condition at every service or about every 10,000 km. Many owners see anywhere from 30,000 to 70,000 km from a set, depending on traffic, driving style, pad compound, and road conditions common across Australia and New Zealand.

Replacement time usually shows up as squealing from the wear indicator tab, longer stopping distances, vibration under braking, or a pad thickness around 3 mm or less. Uneven inner–outer pad wear points to sticky slide pins or tired hardware. The Mark X commonly uses a mechanical wear indicator
