Not mine! My brothers been told his brake discs AND pads are illegal and have failed his MOT on them - I have my doubts - can you fail on them if they are providing the correct braking force and its even?

They can if the pads and/or disks are knackerd.

But ONLY if they can see the pads/disks WITHOUT removing the wheels ;)

discs are fine - no corrosion - pads are still OK.....I reckon they are trying it on - its going to Kwik Fit for a quick look and if its OK - which it sounds like they only fail it if the pads are grinding then all hell will break loose!

 

Andy - when can we do the rear hatch off the grey 300 you have?

pads have to be below 1.5mm. discs have to be excessivly worn/corroded to fail (in the testers opinion)

Its all to do with the brake force being applied in relation to the weight of the vehicle, as a percentage. e.g. If the requirement is 50%, the car weighs 2 tons, the brake force being applied must be a minimum of 1 ton

then it would fail on brake performance, not brake components ;)

Guys - the inner side of the disc was corroded. Fair enough. I think the pads on that side have become stuck in the caliper.....

prob wants calipers overhauling then
