Seems to happen all the time - we had an 89 MPV, and the dealer tried to sell us new rotors and pads just about every oil change. Toyota tried to do the same with the Previa after about 25k kms, even the local Volvo dealer told me the pads were 95% worn on the 245 and I needed rotors, they were in fact about half-worn and the rotors weren't even grooved.

Don't worry about the rotors unless there's pulsation. The new pads will wear in to the grooves, after 14 months they can't be grooved too deeply unless you let the pads get down to metal - if you did, then replace the rotors, they'll just eat the pads in a hurry. Don't bother with machining.
