But you're using it as a delivery vehicle, which isn't a normal use. The life you're getting isn't bad when you're actually using the brake just as much as 50,000 miles of NORMAL driving.

Maybe change your driving habits. When coming up to a light, coast. After you do a significant stop, let off the brakes and let it roll to help it cool evenly and downshift to hold the speed while going down a hill.
