Actually I see quite often that when the pad light comes on for the front pads that the rotors are only about .5mm above min specification and I usually suggest replacement at that time. Whether or not I suggest replacement usually depends on when the next state inspection is due. It doesn't make any sense to just replace the pads if your state inspection is coming up and your rotors are getting close to min. spec. I've also seen some of these mercedes models have the rotors wear out before the pads do. Hope this helps

What is the minimal thicknes of ML320 front brake pads? And how do I measure it correctly? Thanks!
