Discs are fine.  Its the pads have disintegrated.  Its almost as if instead of copper in the pad, they have put iron in, which has rusted.

Pad is about 50% worn, around 5mm of meat left.

Other side was suffering the same, ie, visible corrosion inside the pad causing the pad to break up, but not as extreme.

I do read the road ahead...   ...so I can ascertain the last possible moment to use the brakes.
