Hey...

MOT is due fairly soon. Do you think my front brake pads will pass in the condition they are in? They have plenty left on the they're just a bit well...



Thanks
Tim

They should pass. It goes on a set of rollers while brakes are applied and tester looks at the readout to see if there is an imbalance or are just nakerd. I wouldnt change them anyway.

The back ones are fine. The front ones are like that since I went to Croft. The car isn't used often so I am hoping not to have to change them

I didn't think they checked how 'worn' or the 'condition' of them, more how effective they are?

I'd pass them, you can fail them for being worn i think its 1mm left on them as long as they pull up in the rollers you'l be fine
also if you got wheels on where you cant see the pads they cant fail cos if you cant see it you cant fail it
