A little low mileage, but normal...

It is very common for the 9-3SS to wear through a rear set well prior to the front. Every notice the large amount of black dust on the rear wheels compared to the front? The lowest mileage I have seen them need replacement is 21k miles, but if driven primarily in the city (seeing as through yours is 2 years old with only 12k miles) 12k is not really out of line. More highway driving, perhaps you would have gotten 40k miles out of them.
The good news is the pads are soft enough that usually they do not eat into the rotor bad, so a light turn on the brake lathe is probably all it needs and a new set of pads.
If done here, figure $175.
