"...to establish a coating of surface corrosion ". Yes iron oxide establish itself in order to protect the layer of iron below it from corrosion. We call that RUST !
Of course if the car was driven in heavily salted/de-iced roads during the winter, & the previous owner
never rinsed the wheels
thoroughly, & /or used something very acidic to get rid of baked on brake dust, then this could certainly accelerated the designed obsolescence.
What year & mileage is the vehicle & from which area of the country is it?
Is the rust on the calipers visible thru the wheel spokes ?? Is it just the front pair or front & back?
