Something wrong with right front brake

It may have been an aftermarket caliper with slightly different dimensions or the wrong caliper in the first place and he just made it fit.

Some mechanics do a proper repair, while others simply just want to get it functioning again.

I will buy a new caliper as well as new rotors and pads. Those guide pins just look that way, the caliper slides just fine over them they are greased.
 
Update on this matter. I've found in the servicehistory that the right front caliper was replaced, tracked the previous owner but he 'couldn't remember'...

The Euro P5 has 274mm front rotors (US 258mm) so some idiot mounted a caliper for a 258m on the right front instead of the 274mm one!!!!
