mileage driven till brakes needed service?

Wondering how many miles you guys have gone on the OEM brakes. Or any other factory part for that matter.
Alternator, window motors, etc.
got 45xxxk on the clock and the tires have just about had it... getting a new set later this week when they get them in.

The fronts I always change every 2 years or about 25,000 miles or so (Nissan pads). The rears I had only changed one since I had my car, which I got about 30,000 miles out of them (Nissan pads, also.)

33K for the rear pads, which wore faster than the fronts (replaced both at the same time tho). Crappy O2 sensors at 28K and 65K miles.

You If your rear pads got worn faster than fronts check your piston dustcups. I had the same issue just fixed it yesterday but still have to replace both of my rear calipres. I want to say only one thing: If dustcaps got ripped you'll have to replace rear calips sooner or later cause pistons itself will get rusted.
P.S. Guys can you tell me what should I buy the whole caliper($227.85) or OVERHAUL KIT($32.06) or caliper piston($151.97). Problem is that afterdust cup got broken both pistons rusted and needs to be replaced and I just went out of my warranty so that this prices for me are painfulll
