How far does the MOT go on checking over brakes? My car's been stood for a good while now (since last August), and the disks and pads are looking a bit ropey - pads are getting a bit thin, disks are rusty. Now, after a couple of hard stops, the disks should start looking a bit better, but what are the actual pass / fail criteria.
And, before everyone jumps on me, I don't want to drive a car with dodgy brakes. I'm planning on swapping the brakes for some bigger ones ASAP, so I want to know whether I need to do this before or after the MOT, as I don't intend to swap all the pads, disks etc. on a set of brakes I'm going to take off in a month...
