How many miles has your car done on these discs?


You have to remember the tester has his licence to think of also, if someone brings a car in and he passes it and then they go out and crash it and the investigator find wafer thin discs on it he's for the high jump for passing it, there will always be difference in opinion about car parts wear, what one man says is ok another will say isn't, I suspect yours were on the limit and where the MOT guy will look at them and say ok, the authority tester is thinking about the state of them in 5 mths time and that's probably why he's failed them.


Im not sure the thickness of discs is a failure on MOTs, wheras braking efficiency certainly is, also any cracking of the disc.

My mondeos past MOTs (available online via VOSA) had "advisorys" which had been acted on by the previous owner, but not failed on the discs at test time.
