Scratched Brake Disc...and MOT test.

[Ross1988]

My brake disc is scratched, it must of got a stone caught in it, it is definitely not a worn brake pad.

My MOT is due, will I pass?

I'm just going to get a photo of it now, if it will help.

Our disc was the same , if i can recall the tester never failed .

Your better off getting a second opinion from a pro though.

I don't think photos will help you pass the MOT.

Photos to help people judge, to see If the scratching is a failure or not.

Assuming it's front, it will fail if the brakes are out of balance, which I would think is unlikely just due to a scratch; it won't fail just because of a scratch.

Aftermarket grooved disc but with only one groove?

After market yes, but the scratch only occurs on one of the discs.

I'll upload a photo now, Ignore the rust, the car has been stood for a while.

Photograph of said scratching.

If it's not weakened, insecure or contaminated by oil, grease etc it will not fail on the condition of the disc, though it may have an affect on the braking efficiencies.

THanks for the replies everyone.
