Les, it's an advisory, in other words an observation at the tester's discretion. Every vehicle on the road has "slightly worn" brake discs!
That doesn't make them dangerous or, indeed, in need of replacement.
As Ian has said, the correct way to determine brake disc wear is to measure its thickness and compare against the manufacturer's data. Your garage will not have done that because it's next to impossible without removing the wheels and they're not allowed to do that during an MOT test.
I'm afraid that this is an attempt by your garage to frighten you into spending money unnecessarily. But I must be wrong because they are "professionals" and should be trustworthy.
You do not need to do anything Les. Enjoy your car.
