Rotors last forever, unless you fall for the scam and have them
turned. Turning kills rotors. Pad life depends on how you drive, and
what kind of rear brake system you got. I would check pads at 30,000.
when in doubt, replace the pads, they are cheap.

**On my ex-Santa Fe, I needed a new set of rotors for the front at
7000 miles and a new set for the back at 10,000. The replacements were
just fine until I got rid of the SF at 26,000 miles.

Yeah, I think I've been conned many time's since I started driving
concerning new rotors. Gonna try the pad changes more often before
even being recommended.
