Those results don't make sense. If I read the MOT table correctly you need 50% to pass the Service Brake and 16% for the parking brake.
Also odd that the wheels are able to lock up.
What condition are you front Brake disks in? If they are badly scored and the calipers seized then you will have to overhaul.
For the drum brakes on the back check the condition of the shoes, drums and adjusters, that should tell you what needs replacing.
When my handbrake was bad a couple of years ago (2006 1.2 GP) it was the cables which were bad where they were held in at the back. Had to replace them to get a decent handbrake.
I've no idea what condition the brakes are in, its difficult to see without removing the wheel. But judging by the MOT results, they are not in good knick! I also do not understand the results, but i'm getting it sorted as soon as possible hopefully in April. I don't have any warning lights, ABS or whatever. Nor any MOT advisory relating to the brakes.
But I am noticing a "clunk" sound when the car comes to a halt after braking, I think its the rears.
