Pads I can believe( but that sounds a little early), But the rotors should last through about 3 sets of pads. I would pay for the rotors but I would also inquire about a possible caliper problem that may be causing the pads to stick and the heat build up has warped or dammaged the rotors. Otherwise the rotors should not need replacing. We have a 99 E300 with 63,000 mi and the rotors are fine. I measured them when I replaced the pads at ( second set) 55,000 mi and they should last to about 90-100,000 mi.
IF they are replacing rotors at such a low milage. Items covered under warrantee are defective and the whole system should be looked at.
I would suggest that any Item that you have to pay for that is being replace. Demand that the old part be returned to you once it is off the car. If you had the rotors you could have them measured and see if they are telling the truth. It keeps them honest. If they DO need replacing then something is wrong with the braking system. Demand further investigation of the car.
Mercedes does not turn rotors. It is cheaper to replace them
