The car has about 40 to 50k miles on it. I'm guessing that the rotors are the originals. There is a noticeable lip on the outside edge of the rotors. However, they look really clean... no grooves or cracks.
The other thing is that the pads seem to have a bit of meat left on 'em... a little under a 1/4" inch. If it were my car, I'd keep driving it for a bit, then replace the pads. But if I top off the fluid to turn off the light, I bet Kristen will forget about it and drive till she's braking with the piston itself.
Dean, have any recomended places for Audi pads? I buy all my brake bits from StopTech and they don't carry anything for smaller A6 brakes that are on Kristen's car.
