Mot failed and the garage tell me discs and pads need replacing as the discs are scored. Ok will get them fixed - no problem with that. But I thought a failure was/could/should be on insufficient braking effort - the amount of force and the brake balance. The braking is very good even with the discs as described. In fact the reason I was going to change them anyway is because the disc are warped - can feel it under braking especially from speed. As I say, I have no problem with them doing the work or anything like that but my question is can "scored" discs cause an MOT failure even if they work ok (from force point of view). I suppose the answer is an obvious "yes" but like to hear it from the grp.
