How do I inspect Skoda Yeti brake discs?

I've just had my Skoda Yeti serviced and the garage are saying that both the front & rear brake discs are corroded and lipped. They've marked the issue as amber rather than red, so presumably this covers everything from lightly scratched to almost dangerous. How do I check them for myself? What do I look for?

The car has only done 17,000 miles in the 5 years years I've had it (from new) so this doesn't really seem reasonable, though a couple of threads on the Yeti forum indicate I am not alone.
 
At 17000 miles from new unless you are a very heavy user of the brake or run your pads low then I highly doubt they will be that bad but just take a look

I tend to put the handbrake on and take the car out of gear when the car is stationary e.g. at traffic lights and roundabouts. But I doubt it's excessive.

Both discs and pads are generally considered as disposable service parts nowadays.

They want £700 to replace all four so I am somewhat loth.

Post a photo.

Now you mention it, it makes me suspicious that they did not provide me with photos.
