Bmw f20 1 series MOT

[samr500]

Hi all

Recently had the brake pad warning light come on my f20 2013 1 series for the front brake pads. Now I have taken my car in for mot at a local BMW specialist and they have advised that I need new discs and pads for both front and rear and one new front tyre. Now I do not know much about how much this should cost but they have quoted me £570 for the discs,pads, one run flat tyre and labour.

Now I'm wondering is this a good price as seems a bit expensive to me.

Also wondering do I really need new discs and pads in the rear wheels as there was no warning light in the idrive for this. The garage said only the pads need changed to pass the mot but they won't fit pads to the discs as they are quite 'corroded'?

For what it's worth when driving the brakes feel just as good as normal.


Your opinions would be appreciated.

We can't guess, you really need to give us some measurements but you don't even give us the mileage on the car. The garage who made the assessment should have the measurements they used for their assessment.

So here we go:
What mileage is on the car?
Are these the original brake pads, if not what mileage is on them?
What thickness of lining is on the pads?
What thickness are the discs?
What depth of thread is left on the tyres?
Have you any comment on the alleged corrosion on the discs?

You can check out the tyre price yourself by going to one of the online sites such as Oponeo, Camskill or tyreleader.

If the brakes are working at the required percentage at time of test, they cannot fail, only advise. Same as the tyre, 1.6mm across 75% at time of test is a pass ?
