How many kilometres are on your car? You gave us the measurements, how much
is that in a percentage? What did the technician recommend?
It's really hard to give you an answer, because different people drive in
(sometimes) radically different ways. I replaced the rear pads on my '01
Accord V6 after 89,000 kilometres of combined mileage (mostly city, though).
If my Wife was to be the only driver of the car, I would have had to change
them a considerable amount sooner.
