BRAKES AND ROAD SAFETY
Brake Problems and Your MOT
Your vehicle’s braking system is an important part of its MOT test. Defects affecting braking performance or the condition of components may result in an MOT failure.
If your car has failed its MOT because of a brake-related defect, we can discuss the reported issue and whether we can help with the necessary repairs.
It is also worth having unusual brake noises or changes in braking performance investigated before your next MOT rather than waiting for the test.
BRAKE REPAIRS FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions About Brake Repairs
How do I know if my brake pads need replacing?
Possible signs include squealing or grinding noises, reduced braking performance or a brake wear warning. These symptoms can have different causes, so an inspection is the best way to assess the condition of your brakes.
Why do my brakes make a grinding noise?
A grinding noise can indicate that brake components are badly worn or damaged. Have the problem checked promptly. If braking performance is affected or the vehicle does not feel safe, do not continue driving.
Why does my car vibrate when I brake?
Vibration during braking can be caused by uneven or damaged brake discs or other mechanical problems. An inspection is needed to identify the cause.
Can I drive with a brake warning light on?
A brake warning light may indicate a problem that needs urgent attention. Check your vehicle handbook. If the warning indicates a serious fault, braking performance has changed or you are unsure whether the car is safe, stop when safe to do so and arrange professional assistance.
