Break failure due to garage incompetence-advice please!

@Zulu

I’m a bit puzzled here.  In your original post, you said the car failed on front brake pipes, and the garage replaced them for the MoT.  But the DEKRA report you quote talks about a fluid leak from the n/s rear brake union.  Am I missing something, or are these two totally different things?

It failed on a few minor bits , but most significantly the front brake pipes were corroded. The garage replaced them, retested the car (they do the MOT on site) and off she went on her way. The next day her handbrake light was coming on intermittently, then permanently.

[quote] Both the front and O/S/R brake components were in a satisfactory condition with no evidence of any defects or brake fluid leakage.

The N/S/R brake back plate, brake pipes and outer section of the rear axle beam were damp, from touch and smell appeared to be brake fluid.

The brake fluid appeared to have originated from the N/S/R metal brake pipe union to the flexible brake pipe which connects onto the brake calliper.

My bad, it was the front o/s and rear n/s brake pipes that were changed for the MOT.
