Include 'type of use' as a major reason. If the van never left the city it will have more wear than a vehicle used for intercity travel. In a big truck, hauling gravel can mean new brakes every three months while an over-the-road truck can easily go a decade without brake work.
But driving style is a big thing. I have 120k on my car and the brakes have never been touched. I have a light foot and plan each stop ahead by slowing appropriately.
Better pads will last longer.
