Description of the problem	During a routine state inspection it was discovered that the rear disc brake rotors and pads were no longer acceptable and had to be replaced. The brakes were still functional at this point but only barely. There was no wear indicator sound that ever emanated from the brakes. There was no warning light on the dash board indicating a brake problem. There was longer braking detected but only that associated with normal wear of a vehicle. There were no signs of any issue with the brakes. A routine recent inspection of the front brakes by the owner to assess the vehicle prior to inspection revealed no issues with normal wear of the front pads and rotors. The rear disc brakes were not examined at the time as the assumption was that brake wear would be nominally the same as the front. The yearly state inspection revealed the excessive wear of the rear brakes relative to the front brakes. This indicates a vehicle flaw, possible design or component, as the vehicle only had 25,000 miles on it and the front disk pads and rotors indicate only normal wear. The rotors were worn too thin to be used. There was excessive rust on the brake components. The pads were past acceptable wear. The rear brakes/pads/rotors were either defective, improperly working, or improperly designed. There could have been a serious brake failure resulting in an accident as a result of the excessive wear of the rear disc brakes. This should be red flagged as a serious issue of concern.
