Tbh, if your mot man's anything like mine, if the car looks like its been maintained underneath they don't seem to look too hard  ;)

Personally, i'd get myself a can of white greese and empty it over any copper brake pipes I can find.
If you have any copper slip greese, stick some on the moving linkages at the back of the handbrake linkages / disc backplate and on the adjusters for the tracking  ;)

Other then that, general stuff like bulbs, washers and wiper rubbers  :y

Good luck  :y

They'll normally be Kunifer or Steel, and hence prone to rusting. Copper work hardens so isn't generally used for brake lines.

Copper is a brilliant material for brake pipes, it's a doddle to work, and it doesn't rust (the Statue of Liberty hasn't failed it's MOT). Grease is often put on copper pipes to prevent Verdigris in salt water areas.
