Are brake shoes visually inspected for a MOT?
I know they need changing (really) and have bought a set but the car needs MOT'ing now, wondering if there is any point taking it in. The brakes operate normally.

They don't take things apart so won't see the brake shoes. Pads yes, as they are visable. I'd take it in as it is and see how it goes, but of course change them ASAP afterwards if you know they are worn.
An "expert" will be along shortly to tell us more...
Sorry, I'm only an "expert" in Googling:

Cheers, i'll bookmark that.
It passed anyway though I have it booked for the brakes to be done tomorrow.
