Car now has a new MOT but I've had an advisory on the front brakes. Ouch !
What's the consensus on whether I get it done and sell as new brakes. I'll need to maintain a high price with this option. But car will then an extremely low maintenance option (all relative ) going forward.
Or discount price on the basis this will need doing soon. Buyers discretion then what brakes they use and who fits them.
I'd prefer 2nd option as a buyer myself as I'd get probably formula dynamics upgrade and get local garage to fit.
What's thoughts on how to pitch this ?
Cheers
Trouble is, MoT stations don't measure disk thickness and compare against wear limits, they go on judgement. So we don't really know from this how close to the wear limit they are. If they are right on it you should get them replaced. If lipped, but with plenty of life left, best to leave as-is and allow the buyer to use them as a negotiating point. The disks and pads on the 4.7 are not cheap - £2.1k just for the parts from Eurospares, though fitting is easy.
