I have 100,500 miles on an 04 Corolla's original brake pads. All highway miles.
Brakes still work great and no squeaking. How can I tell when these will need to be replaced?

You can remove a wheel and inspect the pads. However, sometimes an inside pad can wear more and fool you. Best way is to remove a caliper and pads and measure. Also feel the rotor or drum and see if you have any heavy texture.
At those miles, I'd think about a new set just because pads, even with wear left, can get hard and not stop the car as well as they should.

Your car's mileage would indicate that you should check your brakes - even though they may not make any noise and still stop your car.
