Is this an MOT fail.. brake pad has come off the backing

[bledd]

After a mere 8000 miles one of my rear redstuff pads has come off the backing plate that connects to the calliper

When the caliper is on, it still has contact and it can't move anywhere. The brakes still work etc

My MOT is due soon, do I need to change this for the MOT? or will it pass regardless?

Going to just replace them with Pagids

Was planning to MOT tomorrow, have ordered the new pads

What car is it? EBC Bluestuff pads are getting fantastic reviews at the moment, and very well priced

ITR

I never track the car, I replaced the original set of reds that the car had when I bought it, all round with reds. Won't be buying them again

maybe check for a binding calliper too

That's what my mechanic said, it went through the previous pad quicker than the other side, he cleaned up the caliper up before fitting these last time. They're free moving when cold, may only be a problem when they're heated up.

Flew through MOT

One new caliper and new pads on both sides being fitted as we speak.

Pads from both sides had fallen apart, shocking. I rarely use my brakes. EBC said I can have a refurb after they've inspected them
