[yeoblade]

No 'flying Colours' for the vans MOT this year !

Brakes less important than Registration plate!

And what excuse have you for not going over the brakes before the test, 20 lashes at dawn, yes correct some thinks very silly at mot, i have caught them out twice here and beat them.

Who says he didn't (well he maybe didn't), an advisory for 'thin' brake pads means they are still legal and able to function perfectly correctly, but they will need replacing at some time soon. I had the same advisory a couple of weeks back and was well aware that the brakes where fine, but they will be replaced soon.

Number plate not conforming is a black and white fail according to the test criteria .

Brake pad material thickness is an advisory
As long as it is within test criteria .

Can't see an issue to be honest .

Some things mot test wise are black and white

Some are down to the testers discretion

A couple of weeks ago I had advisories for front tyres. Should I start a tyre thread.

What chance have I got of seeing the brake linings if I cant see the number plate issue

Anyway took it apart today , they were a bit thin on one side compared with a new set, Fiat X250 rear

"Bit thin"
Only a slight understatement ...

Good job it was nothing important ehh .

Well this is how they were advertised on eBay when I bought them

Brakes, not a problem, it's the number plate that's dangerous . MOT to prove it .

Also said he thought the spacing wasn't right either

Not really the mot testers job to make sure you have functioning brake pads though is it ....

The MOT test is basically a safety net ...

Hence why it's pretty much only valid on the day of testing ....

Driving with brakes in that state is frankly poor maintenance/servicing .

Fact is you knew when you ordered those plates that you were ordering them from a show plates supplier, and you knew they were not compliant (just to same as me tbh) you can’t really complain.

No, okay.
Anyway now they're new now thanks to the advisory
