MB rotors are softer than pads and are designed to wear. The pad doesn't cover the entire rotor creating that lip. Fairly common to change rotors every other brake pad change.

Impossible to say if it is uncommon wear without knowledge of how the person drives. Prob to be expected if driver charges up to every stoplight expecting it to change and then brakes hard........If you charge around too much and overheat the rotors they may be wrapped.
