Hi guys
my 2015 c250 is coming up for its a7 service at 42000km. It’s still on the original disc rotors and pads (not amg). I have a prepaid service agreement that will expire at this service and am concerned that the dealer will try to wriggle out of replacing them if required. I would like to measure the disc thickness and be forearmed with this data so I can mount an argument if necessary. Does anyone know the minimum disc thickness?I understand that it may be on the disc but I have no way to remove the wheel to see but I can measure the thickness with the wheel on.

First time hearing brakes are covered ny prepaid maintenance. What country?

Australia, platinum service agreement. One set of fronts with discs, one set of rears, pads only

You could throw in 2 cases of beer in the trunk for the service advisor and mechanic. And ask nicely for front rotors and pads and rear pads.

The dealer is less than friendly and has on occasions tried to not honour some of the features the agreement provides, wipers etc. I constantly have to refer him to their website on each service. Thanks for the advice but think the beer would be better in my fridge than the service managers, I doubt he would share it with the tech.

Do you see any scoring or grooves on the surface of the rotors?

I had my c43 performance brakes replace because I didn't like how they looked. This was done within 2 years wear warranty.

The discs look typical for 40000km, whether they are under the minimum thickness is what I need to know before the service is done

If you post your VIN I can try and lookup the work instruction for thickness check and see what the values are - I only have the ones handy for my e300 and wifes glc300.
