Ok. long story short.
These discs came from my lads A2.
These discs came from my lads A2 on Friday just gone, he was driving back from Minehead returning from his holiday at Butlins with his young family and had to pull into Gloucester services north bound for toilet duties.
As he was slowing down on the slip road heading for the parking area he heard a bang and the brake peddle seemed to drop slightly under his foot.
He could then hear a crunching kind of noise as the wheels turned and eventually found a parking bay.
At last years MOT 16/09/22, his discs were an advisory stating "Front discs worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened, Both sides, Now I hold my hands up here, I should have replaced them but he didn't have the money at the time and said we could do them at a later date and then we simply forgot .
Now move on a year and his car went in for its MOT. This was done at the garage where I always have my MOTs done and used them for years with no problems but this year the young apprentice got his cert to do MOTs and he did my lads.
Result, It passed with no advisories.
luckily, he is an AA member and the guy turned up around two hours later and said it needed new discs and pads and drove off . Within an hour he returned with a set of PAGID discs and new pads and had them fitted within an hour leaving the old stuff with the lad. This cost him £185.
Now im not going to go to my MOT place all guns blazing and complain that this wasn't picked up during the MOT, I might just have a quite word with the young lad and show him the photos.
What im trying to say here is, check your discs lads.
I guess im going to get some stick here for not changing them last year and i would understand.
