I have a 1998 s70 volvo with 62200 miles on it, I drive it
about 4 times a month with less than 100 miles a month.
I changed the front brakes as it needed it but the back
breaks still look okay. At what mile on the speedometer
more or less will it be about the right time to change the
rear break pads? I have disc brakes both front and back
TKS.

when they wear down. you dont have to do all four wheels at the same time as long as you change the brakes on the same axle at the same time (both front or both rear)

You should probably have changed the front brakes and back brakes at the one time, so that the performance of your brakes is equal with all four tires everytime you drive your car. Seeing as you have already changed your front brakes, and your back brakes still look/feel okay when braking, you should change them in a few months, and replace the front brakes at the same time. I know this might seem like a pain because the front brakes are relatively new, but it is essential to do so that the braking of your vehicle is as good as possible. You should probably consider changing them when your car reaches approximately 65000 miles, or if the back brakes are not performing at their best.

impossible to answer without knowing how much is left of the rear brakes. halfway work? three quarters? what? have them checked every so often.
