My V has approximately 65K on the odo with the OEM pads. I usually get the oil changed at the dealer, and they measure the pad thickness as part of the courtesy inspection. Last time the thickness was down to 2mm on all four wheels. I haven't heard the brake pad wear indicator yet, but I do get a teeny squeal sometimes if I apply the brakes while backing up. The car is also starting to shudder slightly under light to moderate braking going downhill.
I live in an apartment and do not have the tools or space to work on my own brakes. Should I wait until I hear the indicator, or just go ahead and get them swapped out? After six years, it might be time for new brake fluid too.
