May be lucky and get just advisors on those two things as they're not a clear cut fail its more a fail if they're over a certain level if that makes sense

my brakes need replacing they're stripped got about 500 miles left in them but my contact hasn't got round to giving me my new brakes

MOt's aren't that bad... i always think if the worst comes then i can re-shell for 4-500 quid anyway... anything else is fixable for not much anyway, thats why i own a vauxhall

When I had the sri mot'd they never took the wheels off. They just put it up on the ramps and looked underneath then check the brakes on the rollers.

they can only check things visually on an MOT which means the wheels dont come off


for the MOT they check brake efficiency on the rollers
