Quick inspection - Do the rotors have a lip? As in, can you drag your fingernail across the surface to outer edge and feel a lip? If there is lip, I'd consider replacing.
More thorough Inspection - Pull the wheel and measure rotor surface thickness in inner/mid/outer at 12, 3, 6 & 9 positions. The min thickness should be printed on the hat of the rotor. |

At 62,000 miles, why wouldn’t you replace them? The stock set up isn’t expensive with so many high quality OEM style replacements. You’ll have to do them anyway before too much longer. Your new brake pads will do better with new (or at minimum resurfaced) rotors. And let’s face it, 62,000 miles on one set of rotors is amazing life. Replace ‘em.

Hey, I got 27K miles out of the rear rotors/pads and 32K miles out of the front rotors/pads. I think you did pretty good to get 62K out of them.

you should never just change pads....
either get the rotors cut/turned (if there's enough material to do so) or get new rotors. I typically do brakes myself, so I just buy rotors. The dealer likely won't turn them, but an indy would if they're in spec |
