There are many factors which affects the lifespan and the mileage of the brake pads. It depends on you driving habits, the quality of your brake pads. For and example city car drivers uses brakes more than any other drivers.

Also the town drives includes application of brake but such low speed does not causes any hard on to the wear. Braking from the high speed cause the most of the wear to the brake pads. Culprits for the wear to the brake pads are crowded highways and other congested areas. Heavy braking is the most likely to wear the break pads.

Front brakes wear faster because the weight of the car tens to go further forward while breaking and its hard to brake from the front for the pads. So it wear quicker than rear once.

Some drivers have their brake pads changed after 70,000 miles and some after 25000 miles.

On an average the front brake pads are last anywhere from 32-55k.  If your brakes squeak for the first time you are braking then its the rust over the brake pads.
