MOT Advisory Notice

Bren · 2008-03-08T00:59:30+00:00

I've just had my car MOT'd and it passed, but with an advisory notice.Front (both sides) brake discs slightly worn (3.5.1h)Rear (both sides) brake discs slightly worn (3.5.1h)Rear (both sides) brake pad wearing thin (3.5.1f)I can see the point of having the rear brake pads replaced as they are wearing thin but if the discs are only *slightly worn* why notify me? Surely brake discs do become worn?I don't do very high annual mileages - about 5000/6000 a year - and I am not a 'speed freak' so how long will it be before I need to replace the discs?Thanks,BrenP.S. I've just noticed on the back of the form under paragraph 2 it says -'Continued use of the vehicle (even though a test certificate may have been issued) may make you, and/or anyone who drives the vehicle, liable to prosecution or invalidate your vehicle insurance.'What is the point of issuing an MOT certificate under these conditions? Surely it would have been better to fail the car and have the faults repaired? What would happen if I was involved in an accident tomorrow and my insurance company learned of the advisory notice?

Anything's possible.

That's what I said, isn't it?
