    The dealership told me I need new front pads and rotors. I've got no problem with the pads but I question the rotors. What is the minimum thickness that would trigger replacement, assuming there are no vibrations or shimmies?

    Due to Regen of brakes, the issue is often lack of use, not wear. I had a Prius fail inspection for bad brakes recently. My solution was to take it to a country road and stop from 70 several times in neutral so the Regen was off . It passed -
