Mot due rear brakes OK?

Need to take my car that I bought 8 months ago for its first mot with me. 

Car almost 5 years  old, done 49k, measured brake disc at 10mm. Plenty of brake pad material left, I'm just paranoid about the discs. 

 

Thank you

Seems the rotor/disc thickness is well within tolerance and according to this link

The only observation I would make is that the first pic might be suggesting a lip on the disc but nonetheless they look like they will readily pass an MOT. Out of interest, is your paranoia based on some experience or another?

Thank you, its the lip on the disc as you said which has made me think it might fail, just wanted a 2nd opinion really so I don't waste my time queuing for 3 hours at mot centre.

The rest of the car should be fine.

I suppose because the front discs and pads were changed just before I bought it, I figured maybe the back would need doing but I do know the rears don't wear out as quickly.

There is a tolerance on the thickness of the discs and it appears yours still have plenty of life left in them. If as you say the actual discs thickness is 10 mm then they are nowhere near a failure and from information specific to your year of car, then it would seem the minimum thickness is 8.5 mm.

I'm sure all will be well.
