Do you know how to check them? I would say around 60k for the front depending how you drive, rearsca bit longer.

If they are original you are most likely very close. Only way to know for sure is measure pad thickness.

Pad thickness should not be less than 2 mm (0.08 inch).

If he is asking when to change the brakes, he probably will not know how to measure the pad thickness........ don't you think? fwiw

Pads don't get replaced based on some mileage number. They are replaced when they are less than 2mm remaining. Your dealer or service tech should be able to measure them for you.
