There are various signs which you should be aware of:

1. A brake-pad warning light – this is a pretty obvious sign that one of your brake pads is worn but not all cars are equipped with this light.
2. A loud screeching – a screeching or grinding sound is very likely to mean that your brake pads have worn out.
3. Pulling to one side – if your car is pulling to one side, it could be that the brake pads on one side of the car have worn out causing an imbalance.
4. Bad vibrations – if your brake pedal vibrates when you press on it, it could mean that your brake pads have warped from too much heat or that the brake discs are damaged.
