How do I know when to replace my Nissan Micra's brakes?

I bought a used Nissan Micra a few months ago and I'm not sure when I should replace the brakes. The car only has 40,000 miles on it, but I've noticed some slight squeaking when I hit the brakes. Do I need to replace them now or can I wait a little longer? Thanks!

Based on your mileage and the fact that you're hearing some squeaking, it's most likely time to replace your brake pads. It's important to regularly check and replace brake pads to ensure they are working properly and to prevent any further damage to your car. If you're unsure, it's always best to consult a mechanic for a professional opinion.

I've owned a Nissan Micra for years and have dealt with brake issues myself. It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to brakes, so my advice would be to go ahead and get them replaced. Plus, you'll have peace of mind knowing your car is safe to drive.

I would recommend getting your brake pads checked by a mechanic, as it's hard to determine without physically inspecting them. It's always better to catch any issues early on and prevent any potential damage to other parts of your car.
