I never touched the front or rear brakes on my VX from 27k to 62k miles. The car sat for 14 years between the time it was totalled and when I bought it. I did change the brake fluid when I got it back on the road and at 62 k miles, when I sold it, the front pads had at least 50% of the pads left. Rotors looked great.

When I changed the brake fluid I noticed the rubber seals under the cap for the brake master and clutch master were disintegrating from the fluid deterioration, but that was all of the damage.

A fluid flush every couple of years in the spring when humidity is low is a good preventative maintenance.
