007 Nearside rear braking system leaking (BURST ON TEST) ....

I assume that this MOT station also does repairs.  :-/ It does seem rather coincidental  :-?  :-?  :-?
In 30yrs of owning a car I've never had a brake hose burst, they've needed replacing due to being perished, but to burst on a car as old as yours ...... :-/  :-/  :-/  :-/

I have seen several pipes burst on test over the years, mainly pipes that are hidden by exhaust shields and the like and mostly on renaults :D

It does seem a coincidence though that Mr MOT man failed most lengths of brake pipe due to 'rust' on a car somewhat newer than mine, and then a pipe just happens to burst on test too?  :-?  :-?  :-?

From what the tester said (a friend of the family by the way) he was going to fail it anyway on the corrosion but when he did the nearside brake test it ruptured. He said everything else on the car was good and it was just the rear brakes.

Sorry it failed Dan. As a side note took my daughters 206 for test earlier in the year it too failed on brake pipes and hoses. Tester said hoses wer bad and could burst however even with had push on pedal for a long period it held. Make me wonder about yours. when i took 206 ones off could see braiding beneath rubber but no sign of fluid loss.
