That's not even close to being an MOT fail. I'm a tester and that's not even an advisory based on that picture.

I can understand the Porsche tech mentioning it while it's in for inspection service. No way should any tester be saying that constitutes an MOT fail. Looks like any brake pipe on a car over a year old.Cheers. It's frustrating that 3 have said the same. Porsche saw it first end, the other 2 saw that same image.
Yip comes down to standard of tester. Worked with a few guys who you just wouldn't trust to work on or assess your car.It's just surface rust. If they are going to fail people for that, then every UK car over about a year old is "unroadworthy".
This kind of thing makes MOT histories untrustworthy. Some testers are very lenient, some fail cars for stuff which isn't really a problem. I've seen cars with totally clean MOT histories which have issues, others with loads of fails but are almost immaculate :/
If you can get some made of copper, what about steel or even stainless then it's a moot point. I highly doubt a technician could tell the difference between stainless and mild steel brake lines apart from a lack of rust. I'd be wary of copper pipe, as it will oxidise to some extent, brake fluid may even eat through it as I've heard it's quite corrosive.
Can’t you just clean it up a bit and take it back or is the problem that now Porsche know about it you need to have them replaced?
Huh i didn't no that, and lol at that picture, did you smear vasaline on the lens?Copper, from corrosivity point of view is better than steel or stainless.
Its ok guys, I've digitally enhanced the photo and hopefully made it a lot clearer.
