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!
