My 1996 FWD RAV 4 has 138,000 so far. It is mostly  rural miles so take this for what it's worth. I replaced pads and resurfaced rotors at 85,000.  The mechanic has the spec for how much brake pad is adequate for safety.

The mechanic checked them at 123,000 and said they were still good. I'm still running the original drum rear brakes. You have rear discs.
