Is it time to replace break pads? (pictures)

Hey, I have around 40,000 miles (90% city), and still no indicator that break pads should be replaced.

How do you think?

There is only a wear indicator on one of the front pads. Light cones on when friction material on that pad is around 2mm. New pads have around 12mm of friction material.
