The pads really should be removed to check them. While it is a little time 
consuming, it does not require the removal of the wheel. I don't have the 
manual in front of me, but I believe that the service limit is 1.5mm of pad 
material left, or if the pad has worn to the groove on any section.

That depends on how and where you ride. I do a lot of rural riding (not 
city stop and go) and will easily get 12,000 miles on my rear and will be 
close on my fronts.
