Hi All,
I'm a little out of practice on all this - being lucky enough to keep my own car relatively young, I'm not used to seeing a car fail an MOT.
My wife's 2008 VW Polo has just failed it's MOT. First time in it's history it hasn't passed first time. 55k miles on the clock and it has failed with:
Service Brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a)(i))
Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axel 2 (1.2.1 (b)(i))
I know, an impossible task to tell me what is up. However, based on the car and age, can anyone give me a likely cause of the fail and what it's likely to cost to put right?
Plan on replacing the car with something newer in around 6 months time, so not looking to spend silly money on it.
Cheers All.
