MOT Advice

[Jonj1]

Trying to help out a friend so not sure if this is the right section and its a Nissan and couldn't find a section for that at all lol.

It passed the MOT but has these advisories, could someone explain what is likely needed to fix the issues mentioned. I appreciate it would be a rough guide. Thanks

1. Front brakes imbalanced requirements only just met. it would appear that the braking system requires adjustment or repair. (1.2.1 (b) (i))
2. Offside front service brake fluctuating, but not excessively (1.2.1 (e))
3. Rear brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))
4. Offside rear nail in tyre () <------ Think I know what that one is
5. Nearside front lower suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement (5.3.4 (a) (i))
6. Offside front lower suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement (5.3.4 (a) (i))

1 + 2) Clean up and/or refurb front brakes - this could be as easy as a strip down and grease, or it could need the calipers refurbing. Possibly also needs new disks/pads if a sticky caliper has ruined the pads or disks.

3) New rear brakes

5 + 6) Either new lower arms or (if you're lucky) replacement bushes. Most of the time replacing the whole arm is cheaper than paying to replace just a bush.

Thank you, appreciate the prompt feedback.

I changed the lower arms on my Focus before and it was a lot easier and cheaper than buying the bush for sure!
