If the discs and pads can be easily seen they can be inspected as part of the MOT.
If not it's purely down to the brake test.
It's not unreasonable to expect a car to go from one service to the next without needing any consumable parts. Things like brake disc and pad condition should be inspected as part of a service and the customer advised.
However if you are buying a used car from a dealer, most of em just want your cash and do as little as poss to the car. If you ask for a service they'll just change the oil and stamp the book, many won't even bother with the oil filter.
If you take it in for a service, now that's different, they'll check everything they possibly can, find as much work as they possibly can, often including little scam jobs and charge you as much as possible.
Oh if you didn't drive too far once the metal hit the discs you might get away with just new pads, but if you've gone a good distance you'll need new discs as well as pads.
I certainly be back at that dealer trying to get it sorted, see how it goes but frankly loads of em just don't give a shit.
