MoT -Fail

[Firefox116]

Well' put the Zed for an MoT and it failed. Was a bit surprised but given its age it did remarkably well. Corroded brake line, cracked rear spring and a snapped caliber during the test.

Other than that no advisories.

Hay ho.

Not too bad, how did the caliper snap?

That's pretty good really. We all want an instant pass but considering the age of these cars I think you've done OK.

springs normal and easy fix corroded pipes poss a good rub down and covering in wax oil unless they are really bad then safety would have to be replace, then caliper repair or replace not a lot of cost for a old car,

If the brake pipe failed for excessive corrosion it would have to be replaced. Cleaning up is not an option. But brake pipes are not difficult to do anyway.

It snapped during the bleeding process.

Was it the bleed nipple that snapped off? I've never heard of a calliper itself snapping!

Yes it was. No the actual calliper.
