As a rule of thumb, once they get to about the same thickness or less as the backing plate-time to change, since they go quickly from there. Also there are rivets inside so you can't use 100% & those rubbing on rotor/drums not good. The rotors do most the work & wear faster. Many people routinely check fronts (when cold) by just sticking your finger thru the wheel & feeling pad/plate along side.

Volvo brake pads do not have squeaking tabs on them except for the 2000-2004 S40. Regular inspection intervals are required to visually determine brake pads remaining thickness. Volvo recommends replacing the pads when there are only 2mm remaining. Once the pads wear completely away and start rubbing metal to metal the rotors must be replaced. Rotors have two minimum thicknesses also. One minimum is Pad Change Min which is the thickness usually about 0.8mm above absolute Min Thickness where the rotors will probably not be below the absolute minimum by the time the pads wear out. The absolute minimum thickness is usually stamped on the hub of the rotor and varies with the diameter of the rotors.
