OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — front pads (aftermarket) Brembo P 28 077 / Bosch 0 986 494 773

Accuracy note: Covers the Honda HR-V (2015-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Front brake pads are sold by caliper system (ATE / Teves, TRW / Lucas, Bosch, Akebono, Brembo etc.) and by pad size, and one model usually has two or three pad sizes depending on engine, brake size and trim — a wrong size will not fit the caliper. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand with their width x height x thickness in mm; genuine numbers are shown only where a listing quotes one. Measure the old pad or check the caliper system against your VIN before ordering, and fit a new wear sensor where the set is only 'prepared for' one.

Front brake pads (aftermarket)	Brembo P 28 077 (149 x 61 x 17 mm, acoustic wear warning with 2 indicators, Akebono); Bosch 0 986 494 773 (148.5 x 60.9 x 16.3 mm, integrated wear sensor plus acoustic warning); TRW GDB3615 (148.7 x 60.7 x 15.8 mm, acoustic wear warning, Akebono restriction); ATE 13.0460-5513.2 (148.7 x 60.8 x 15.8 mm, acoustic wear warning, Akebono); Textar 2579201 (148.8 x 60.7 x 16.4 mm, acoustic wear warning with 2 indicators, Akebono); Delphi LP3243 (148.8 x 60.9 x 16.5 mm, acoustic wear warning, Akebono); Ridex 402B1228 (148.8 x 60.7 x 16.4 mm, acoustic wear warning with 2 indicators)
Pad sizes & variants	One main front size of about 149 x 61 x 16 mm is listed (WVA 25792-25794). A second 149 x 57 x 18.5 mm pad (Ridex 402B0163, WVA 21651) is also listed.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in catalogue listings — order genuine pads against your VIN
Fitment notes	the Bosch 0 986 494 773 is the only set with an integrated wear sensor, and the rest rely on the acoustic warning.

A Genuinely Important Connection Worth Knowing About the EPB — Honda HR-V Brake Pads

If your electronic parking brake is behaving erratically, this is genuinely worth knowing: the EPB system is highly sensitive to 12V battery health specifically, and a weak or marginal battery is a surprisingly common, genuine cause of EPB glitches. It's genuinely worth having the battery properly load-tested before assuming a fault with the brake system itself.

A genuinely important technical point worth knowing about rear pad wear: the EPB motor needs sufficient pad material remaining to properly grip and hold the car — when pads wear too thin, the motor tries to compensate, putting extra strain on the mechanism itself. Worth replacing rear pads promptly once genuinely due, rather than pushing them to the absolute minimum.

It's also worth knowing that rear pads on cars with EPB or stability control systems commonly wear faster than the fronts, since these systems can use the rear brakes more actively during everyday driving than a conventional car would.

Honda HR-V Brake Pads: Brake Pads Are One of the Few Truly Universal Parts

Every version of the HR-V uses brake pads that wear down through normal use — the only real variable is how quickly, which depends on engine, trim, and (where fitted) whether the car has any form of regenerative braking to ease the load.

Honda HR-V Brake Pads: What They Do

Brake pads clamp against the discs to convert the car's momentum into heat, slowing it down. On any version of the HR-V with hybrid assistance or regenerative braking, this system handles a meaningful share of everyday slowing, which can genuinely extend pad life compared with a purely petrol or diesel equivalent.
