i am surprised that this disc wasn't flagged up on the MOT. There is some feeling on the brake pedal,, but braking seems perfectly OK. 
So maybe it just looks bad, but OK? 

It clearly met minimum braking effort. And that's about all that's tested.

The MOT is not maintenance. A halfway-decent service would take the wheels off, Mr MOT can't.

But just from that pic, I'd guess that the caliper's a bit grotty and corroded, and not sliding freely, so the pad's not fully contacting and cleaning the disc clearly.
