Older rear-wheel drive Volvos eat front brake pads. In city driving, I would average 20 - 25,000 miles max on the fronts. Since most of the effort is on the front brakes, the rear pads last significantly longer. I've had 4 Volvos, 240, (2) 740s and a 940 (current) The rear pads will get 100k. If you car is about 100k mileage and you're doing the front, I'd recommend doing the rears too. I've had better life with ceramic pads, but they tend to squeal. Volvos dust badly also, and dust seals are not recommended. Eagle One makes an all-wheel cleaner for about $5.00 USD that works very well.
