I think generaly sell brake pads as set of 2 either for the front or rear don't think sell them individually, but could be wrong

I wouldn't check just one front and one rear, I'd check all four of them. You could have a problem and the pad you don't look at is significantly worn and fail to replace them because you didn't see a problem with the one you did look at.
