very intresting, car discs are excesively scored and should not have passed, this could be a vosa case and a trading standards case for selling me a unroadworthy car. All the car sales pitch had to do was put new discs on.:(

sick of being ripped off when buying a car from a sales pitch and they are not roadworthy. I have found a lot of these places work hand in hand with the mot testing station.:X

Thanks for the info.;)

It means they are slightly scored, as opposed to excessively scored, if they were excessively scored it would faili. Remember minimum standard, thats all we test to.

just purchased a car from a car sales garage and they put me a new mot on the car. On the advisory sheet (which i did'nt get with the car upon purchase i found this in fo on the net) it says  "discs are slightly scored (3.5.1h)" whats this mean as they look to me as though they should have been replaced. :?
