Some people failing their MOT for a very trivial and preposterous reason as worn brakes...
Mind you that I'm to purchase my 75 Connie for I bet the same reason: the seller cannot or don't want to afford any money for the sometimes rather expensive service items of his car!
He bought her only a year and a half ago and that's it. Now The front brakes are a bit deformed, sometimes squealing, sometimes vibrating, and I had to insist that I shall not buy this car without any good and reliable repair (discs, pads & fluid will be changed by a good mechanic). The job will be done on the Thursday morning and I'll take the car in the afternoon!
For the remaining of the car, all is in good order. He may have been a bit reluctant to pay the last services, but he is honest, I had the evidences. He sent me many pictures, didn't hide any little detail and I'll have all the garage bills on a five years period. He knows that any cheat will cancel the deal.
D-2.
