Disk brakes rust and are cheap. Get the pads done at the same time. Mine need doing on my VW - 7 years old but only 33k miles. Sounds about right to me.

Dealer health check vs an MOT tester will be two different things.
They will probably last a lot longer than 7k miles (depending on how much you drive and how / where etc). Rust is normally lack of use!
I'd probably run them until they fail an MOT. (you may not want to do that though.)
My Subaru has had an "advisory" on it's rear brake pads for 3yrs on a trot and i've never changed them and it's never actually failed on them.

As you had an MOT at the same time and brakes not mentioned. Don't worry about it.

@ChasnotRobert
Main dealer health check says
Front brake discs rusted on inside
Rear brake discs rusted, replace soon
Skoda Superb, 5 years old, 40k miles. I'm saying they will last another year / 7k miles. Seem reasonable?
Edit: it's only 5 years old. Where did I get 7 from?!
