When should a chap change his discs?

My rears have been an advisory for a couple of years because of scoring, but were ok'd by the garage. I've just had a look at the fronts and noticed that they've worn by about 1mm on both surfaces, leaving a thin rusty lip. These are vented discs on a 2000 Nissan Primera.

Is that level of wear normal, or are they at the end of their useful life. They look like they've been on a fair while, but I don't know about these things, so could do with some vague input.

Cheers!

Ok, thanks, so I will assume the discs are fine unless the MOT guy points them out. I'll have him advise me on thickness while I'm there. Just need to get this damn intermittent ABS warning light off first......
