MOT Brake test results

[blakey]

Has anyone got the last MOT test results to hand, just curious to the results that are typical.

The last time I ahd my MOT done I was in the car pressing the brake and it passed (cant remember the results) but never locked? this normal?

I had mine done two weeks ago I'll check for you tomorrow. I didn't notice what information was on the sheet, I wasn't aware of any brake info - but there may be!

It's all to do with brake effort against the vehicle's weight worked out as a %

If it it locks up then it's just maxed out, but it can pass at a lower brake effort limit.

I'm always amazed, but not surprised given the lack of front end weight, at what a low braking effort the fronts typically lock at on the MOT rolling road. Even so it's still good enough apparently!

Remember when braking from speed the weight of the car will shift around so the front will get mighty heavy under load.

MOT passed today, here is a print out of the brake results. New Disc's and pad's all round and calipers had a bit of TLC so everything is as new.

Front axel weight = 511
Rear axel weight = 707
Total weight = 1218 :rofl:

I think his scales need calibrating
