Passed again for another year, just got a few advisories to sort out.

Nearside and offside rear brake pipes slightly corroded
Front break pads
Parking brake efficiency low (19%)
Fuel pipe corroded
Service brake efficiency low (52%). Is this the road brakes?

If the front pads have been advised that could be the cause of a low efficiency, the minimum requirement for the mot is 1.5 mm of pad material which isn't a lot. Sounds like your brakes are in need of a good overhaul

Thanks for the replies, I thought it was that but never heard it referred to as the service brakes before.

Thanks again
