milage doesnt matter That much, How they are used and Are they still within tolerances DOES.
weight of car, How you use the brakes, town/motorway will all play a part in how long or not yours last
disks have a min wear thickness, 1mm PER Side, in most volvo cases, so a 25mm thick disk is DONE once it is 23mm thick, regardless of years/miles , if you use an aggressive pad you Will wear the disks faster

waiting for the MOT to say "failed",,despite the bleats Is not the way to go, as Galloot has said "needs doing as JUST had an advisory" ,
gen volvo pads/disks are not cheap BUT they last/work 100% as intended,
get on the phone to simon(rufe) of FRF and get a set of whatever you need BEFORE they fail and you plow into someone due to worn out brakes
