Brake pads are cheap. If you're concerned, swap them out. Don't let some little thing like that wander around in the back of your head when you're on a fun trip! No way of knowing how many miles you'll get because no one but you know's how you ride. Some people allegedly get 20k on a rear tire. I get about 11....

If your getting tires I'd change the back pads. Next to nothing for the labor and better to be safe and save some money in the near future. I've got 17,000 on mine and they are showing some wear so I'm having them replaced as I'm getting tires also.

Like others have said, replace them. Check those bearings while your at it.
