For Disk pads i replace between 10000 and 12000 kms. Again these are cheap.

i will like to correct something out here the wear and tear of brakes either disk or drums depends on the terrain that u are riding. suppose a person has to travel 60km of steep descent and ascent every day. then i assume that his brakes will be wearing out faster then the one who rides in plains.
i come from a hilly region and my brake pads the front one were changed at 5000 km as i ride with a pillion all the time
i will say ask mechanic to check the pad or judge by yourself how effectively your brakes are working from time to time
