Ours is at 87000kms now and fronts are still ok but I had to get the rear disks skimmed and put new pads on at 85000kms. Will do the same to the front at 90000kms.
We do a lot of freeway/highway driving. Last runabout, 2004 Fiesta, did 130000kms when we sold it and never had to touch the brakes.

A lot of short trips i guess as it is my wife's car and is averaging 15,000km a year. As we bought it 2nd hand with 30,000 on the clock i don't really know the previous owners driving habits. I had heard that they are softer metal and they do stop extremely well but I just thought 45,000 was a bit to soon. I will get a second opinion as they can be a little keen to replace parts when you are paying but not as generous when pushing for warranty claims.
