This doesn’t seem good. I never had any brake noise or any noticeable debris. Front passenger wheel hasn’t been off since we’ve had the car, either.

See the noticeable gouge in the rotor?

Just means something may have gotten lodged between the pad and rotor surface. It’s normal. Probably not a warranty item (brakes usually never are).

Pretty common.

I’ve just never had a gouged rotor without another bigger issue.

You’re going to get some additional noise probably but it’s fine. I’ve had them like this on the rear of my E46 for months.

Seems normal. It was probably something at one point but it will fade away dude. Pretty much every car that comes through my shop has this on one rotor

would the cause of this also result in a mild metallic noise when moving that would stop when you were on the brakes? Not always there, but sometimes.
Asking for a friend...okay it’s me. I’m asking for me, but my car is doing that and has a similar looking disc surface

The 4th pic is what my corolla’s looked like before a swap. They had many many miles on them. I didn't even bother looking up somewhere to resurface them. I just bought new rotors at about $30 for the pair.

I hoon, therefore I am > Steve is equipped with Electronic Fool Injection 07/26/2016 at 18:29
