if they arnt kept in a proper storage place and exposed to water/humid conditions etc then the water will get to them and start to go like a rusty colour

Get a measuring caliper or whatever they are called and see how thick the disks are... then some knowledgeable vauxhall person will be able to tell you how much life they have left in them.

Or even take it to kwik fit cause they do free brake checks... they'll have the information on thickness etc.
