Covered 82k miles and the original front pads were changed at about 58k

I've noticed the front discs look well worn as the lip at the edge of the disc is quite pronounced.

Can the discs be skimmed or just replaced ?

And how much do you think it will cost ?

Cheers

Discs from mb are about £50 and cheaper from alternative suppliers.

I wouldnt even entertain skiming as it isnt worth it. Mb have a min thickness which after 82k you will be well below so skimming isnt an option.

i'm impressed too. My pads were changed at 37k. Disks last 2 sets of pads so normally don't need changing until the pads have worn out, though you do seem to be getting unusual wear characteristics.
