MOT FAIL - Brake imbalance any advice?

[everson38]

Hey guys I have a 2015 ecoboost 1.0 mk7.

Today it had its first MOT and it has failed on a fog light not working and imbalance in braking system.

Does anyone know what the problem / fix will be for such a problem (Brake imbalance). The didn't mention if it was front or rear but said they will need to strip it down.

MOT is £45.00 and £108 to strip it down.

Thanks any info welcome

OK, thanks for letting us know!

Much of a cost?

Ouch, unfortunate!

I think it’s time for me to write a pre-MOT guide!
