Nearside Front wheel binding

[fernando the frog]

There's a car i'm currently interested in online, but one of the MOT advisories is "Nearside Front wheel binding" - what does that mean? Is it something easily fixed?

New calliper required, probably with a pair of new discs and pads. Not end of the world stuff.

Depending on the price it wouldn't put me off... Probably means the brake pads are contacting the disc when they shouldn't be.

Best case scenario, clean up the caliper sliders and re-grease... virtually no cost.

Worst case scenario, new caliper.
