Agreed it’s a drop down menu approach, but the terminology is too ambiguous. And in my opinion not really fit for purpose. (Brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material) If the brake pipes are corroded surely it should be specific. Are they really corroded, or just covered in grease, or both, I suppose if it says corroded they are corroded!Well I religiously waxoil the brake pipes and unions yearly on the daily hacks, only in the last few years have I had that message, likes it's in a drop down menu.
I gave the garage a ring where she had the MOT done, spoke to the tester and he said some corrosion but very minor, nothing to worry about at all, and don’t waste money replacing the pipes. He told me he wire brushed them and then he greased them !. So I asked him why was it recorded as an advisory, his reply was incase anything ever happened in the future and it came back on him. So it means nothing really, except it’s recorded in the MOT history and not really beneficial when it comes to re selling, is it !Agreed it’s a drop down menu approach, but the terminology is too ambiguous.

Wouldn't bother me, it almost shows the previous owner looked after it, and took precautions. No different than waxoiling a chassis.I gave the garage a ring where she had the MOT done, spoke to the tester and he said some corrosion but very minor, nothing to worry about at all, and don’t waste money replacing the pipes.

Agree somewhat, but should not be an MOT advisory.Wouldn't bother me, it almost shows the previous owner looked after it, and took precautions. No different than waxoiling a chassis.
