First, the brake pads are attached to what are essentially metal clamps — which will begin grinding against the rotor. This can cause the rotor to warp or break. Second, the lack of brake pads means the heat from the friction won’t disperse correctly, which could cause the whole braking system to overheat and fail.

How long will 3mm rear brake pads last?
It should take about 50,000 miles (more or less) for the thickness to 3 to 4 millimeters. It all depends on how aggressively and frequently you use your brakes so while 50k miles is average for many, 20k miles may be more realistic for some.
