In my experiecne they always seems to say there is slight deterioration to brake flexible pipes. Bushes on the ARB are quite easy to change. Front discs worn - Hmm if there was a problem then the brakes would have failed - That said they may be worn to the point of requiring replacement. Personally I would advise you to get the car MOT'd now see what it fails on (if anything) then fix those things -.

Agreed, get the MOT done and replace the failed items only.

 

Sounds like a standard set of items by garages touting for unnecessary work.

 

Brake discs and pads have minimum thickness. From memory I think the minimum is 19mm or 21mm (disc) and 2mm (pad).

 

The only sure way to check if brakes need changing is to take the wheels off, inspect and measure.

still get car in tho see if it fails as it gives you them extra days to sort it out as no mot means no insurance now which means 6 points and
