MOT Failure

My Sei failed it's MOT yesterday on a rear brake imbalance. The rear offside is binding apparently. Not a problem to me as the garage I bought it from are paying for it but still annoying. It's had new front pads and disc and new rear shoes so probably hasn't been set up properly. Is this common on Centos?

Re: MOT Failure

Betcha someone tried to adjust the handbrake when one of the handbrake "elbow" pivots was seized up.
