Rotors on an MB will be gone on the second or third pad change, and cannot be machined for the most part. They save weight for handling purposes by making the rotors "disposable" -- and they are inexpensive (compared to hitting something, anyway....).

New pads and rotors (if the calipers aren't already stuck) will fix the brakes. These cars are NOT short on braking power!
