"lipping" on brake rotors?

[Crazy Dazz]

I’ve had a car failed because there are “lips” on the front rotors. Ie the outermost 2mm on the rotors isn’t machine or swept by the pads, and sits proud of the machined surface.
Not only does this make zero difference to the operation of the brakes, but I suspect this is actually the way these rotors were made???
The car has done under 80kk, the rotors look to be in perfect nic, and I have run the calipers over them and they are well within spec.

I imagine I could get them skimmed, but not sure if I could be bothered. If they need to come off, I’d probably just buy new ones, but I resent spending money that I don’t have to.

The lip is actually the pads non contact point, therefore meaning your actual braking contact surface has worn 2mm. Lips generally don't appeal on RWC and a minimal skim is usually required providing you meet min. thickness, but again it all depends how stringent/fussy the issuer is.
They owe you nothing, bugger all to gain except a possible repair labour fee, with lots to lose.

Emery paper & a bit of elbow grease. Problem solved !! (unless the rotor is below min thickness..)

rotors are not supplied with lips, as mentioned they have worn into the rotor and if they are 2 mm the rotor may actually be getting close to minimum thickness
