Will my car fail the MoT if a brake warning message is on the dash?
I have a Mercedes E 220 CDI 2006 model. I have recently replaced the front and rear brake pads and fitted new brake warning sensors but a brake warning message is still highlighted on the dashboard. Is this likely to be caused by a fractured cable in the wiring? Will the car pass its MoT if the warning is displayed but the brakes are proven to be in good order?
The car will fail the MoT if the brake warning light is on. This was added to the MoT as part of the 2018 changes: good-garage-guide.honestjohn.co.uk/how-to-guides/h.../Without seeing the car in the metal, it's impossible to say what the cause could be. I'd recommend having the car inspected by a trusted mechanic. You can find your nearest Good Garage here: good-garage-guide.honestjohn.co.uk/
