1. New pads
standard - 11mm Frt, 11mm Rear
............S - 12mm Frt, 10.5mm Rear

2. Wear Limit - 2mm pads only
.................... - 2.5mm pads & wear indicator

3. Brake wear is only function of how much use they receive and the quality of the pads, not mileage.

If your rotors are still good, then just changing the pads is a very easy do-it-yourself project. It will be more work jacking up the car and taking off the wheels, than changing the pads out. You will need some way to measure the rotors to be sure they are not undersize in thickness.
If you change the pads before the wear indicators are activated, you will avoid having to buy and replace them.
