Just had the car MOT'd and although it passed with out any advisories I notice the Brake Imblance on the Rear Axle is very near to the max acceptable [26% against 30% Max Limit] when compared to last years [12%] results.

Looking at the the report I see the Max brake force test to wheel lock for the left rear has jumped significantly to 403kgf from 271kgf compared to last year. The results for the other 3 corners look OK to me.

I don't know much about how to interpret these figs or the significance but after some rapid goggling of the matter, which didnt reveal much, I'm concerned that this may be the first indication of a potential brake issue problem in the near future. Sticky pot maybe?

Its my weekend car and averages 6,000 miles pa on spirited drives usually twice a week. Two weeks before the MOT it had it's bi annual brake fluid change and health check. According to the dealership everything is OK. They said the front pads are 10mm = 90% life and the Rear pads 6mm = 50% life. No issues reported all brake lines in good condition.

The M Sport brakes feel fine. Can anyone enlighten me further?
