I think you have an issue with your brake distribution box or your master cylinder if it has it’s the design that has seperate chambers for front and bake brakes.
Also make sure to grease all of the no braking contact points such as where the pads slide back and forth in the caliper. I try to do that once a year if I can.
I know, I know, I keep the brake saddles swimming nicely, but the rear brakes only get about 20% of the brake force and if you’re not hooning most of the braking is done by the engine anyway. I’d actually pay for drums in the rear and I’m a bit envious of VW id owners because they get them.
Rotors can get rusty when you haven’t driven for a while, but it’s just cosmetic. That’s no reason to replace rotors. Even if you end up with a bit of grooving from bits of sand in the pads (especially on the rear discs) it’s no issue.
Something else is wrong, or your mechanic is taking you for a ride.
Absolutely normal for this model. Generally a problem for electric cars.
The TÜV in Germany doesn’t accept rotors with even the slightest bit of grooves and a rusty edge. Even if that edge is where the pad doesn’t reach - you are replacing them.

Dude, no way. This is not remotely normal!
