Is the disc bent? You have to be really careful with the disc if your packing the bike in the car or on a bike rack. The slightest bend and it's goosed but you can always bend it back. Plus they can take rock strikes as well which can bend them. Sounds as if they've been running for a few months with no problem and now there is one that something like this has happened.
Disc brake adjustment...going mad!!

Hubs were new 6 months ago but laced to older Mavic XC 717 rims which are ok but slightly egg shaped by a couple of mm...Could it be the spoke tension not being right and allowing the wheel to flex too much putting stress on the hub/rotor?...Clutching at straws now!
Well i have seen play in hubs in a few weeks so never say never. But it probably isnt that, it can be flex which does sometimes translate to the hub.
Maybe try putting a proper pad spacer in between the pads? (Like the red avid ones). While it is in, pull the brake. Is the brake really stiff? Of so maybe some fluid will need letting out to let the pads return a bit further and create a bigger gap.
Can you see if the pads/pistons retract fully?
Or the pistons just may need returning manually.
