2014 A6 Prestige, Brought brand new, normal driving habits

Took in the Audi for its 55,000k service. We are at 53.000 miles. items that came back as needing, want advice as to whether this is normal/expected

Items I consider normal (55k service, Coolant flush, Fuel Injection, Summer Wheel flip), in additional they've recommended the following work.

Motor mount is leaking, recommended that we replace ~$825

and our Rotors are warped.... again. Feb 2016 - the rotors warped and we had them replaced. Got plenty of brake pad left. Any insight into whether warped rotors are common...especially 27 months later? They keep asking if we go to the mountains and ski... we do not, infact I'm a Colorado native and I've skied once...not my thing. The car has not been on any road trips in the last 3.5 years....what could be causing warped rotors?

I had to have a motor mount replaced on my '14 @ 67k miles - I could feel nothing noticeable in the car, but once it began to fail, the engine was vibrating enough to break a couple exhaust studs, ultimately resulting in a seal coming loose and exhaust fumes being emitted under the hood (which is what tipped me off). The whole repair ended up costing about $1,300.

Never had any issue with the rotors.

motor mounts are well known issue, if left unattended will cause bigger issues such as exhast flexpipes failure and it's not cheap fix either.
rotors - depends on quality, i used to buy regular quality rotors and they would warp when driving in colder weather and breaking really hard due to accidents or other circumstances - stupid drivers on highways. It's really easy to warp a rotor especially on such a big and heavy car. My last rotors are from stoptech with hich carbon content to withstand exterme heat, over 40K miles on them and absolutely love them. Another culprit to warped rotors are brake pads, ****ty pads will created too much heat without much stopping power which over time will overheat rotors, usually ebay parts do that. Used to do autocross and about 2-3 events and brakes had to be changed.

At 80K, I found out I had to replace my rotors for the 3rd time. This time I used Frozen Rotors (Frozenrotors.com), sprang for the slotted ones. Seems to be holding up well 20K later.

got 68,000 out of original pads and rotors, lots of long highway miles, replaced with OEM as that performance is pretty good! Motor mounts are known issue, at 70,000 and still okay but I ask them to check them for leaks at every service.

Replace all 4 rotors and pads at 55K services (disc and pad wear), Stoptech slot disc and HPS pads plus wear sensors which the dealer put it for around $200 labor, replaced both engine mounts at 65K because one is leaking - the cost for both is around $1300 parts and labor.

Do check the torque on the wheel nuts. If they are too tight or uneven, it can wrap the rotors prematurely.
