How much would these repairs cost?

[Gazza4354]

Hello Forum,

I'm thinking about buying a ford focus 54 plate 98,000 on the clock and has mot till 6th September 2019 as a spare runabout. I've just looked at mot history and seen the following advisories.

Front brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material (1.1.11 (c))
Rear brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material (1.1.11 (c))
Rear brake pad(s) wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
Front brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))
Exhaust mounting defective (6.1.2 (a))

How much would it cost to repair these issues? I've been told the cambelt has recently been changed and 3 new tyres put on. The car is not expensive but just wondering what the repairs bill would be. I won't be able to repair the car myself so will have to go to a garage.

Thanks.

Are you willing to do any of the work yourself?

Also, don't trust that the timing belt has been changed unless there's proof!

so basicly it needs some brake pads ...take a closer look at the pipes

Brake pads and exhaust mount ....others could go years before becoming a fail

Thanks for the replies and sorry in the delay in replying. It wouldn't let me reply due to some issue with posts and new users wasn't allowed to post.

I won't be doing any of the work myself as I wouldn't have a clue what to do. I will ask for paper work to show that cambelt has been changed and seeing as the issues which I posted above don't seem to major I guess it shouldn't cost to much to fix.

Thanks.

Gives you an instant quote on what it would cost to do through them. The garage amount specified on there is usually pretty spot on too.
