Technical Brake pipe repair

[gr0mit]

Hi all.Fiat fiorino van 2009 1.3mjet diesel
Mot failed on a couple of bits

Mainly worn corroded rear brake hoses

as can be seen from photo ,had to put a serious bend in pipe to get it in .


Question is will it pass MOT like that ?

As long as the pipe isn’t kinked and isn’t hanging excessively low and likely to get caught I can’t see why it would fail, a fussy tester might give you an advisory, but that’d be about it I’d have thought. I know there are some ex MOT testers on here so be interesting to hear there point of view

Not pretty and copper rather than Kunifer, but as long as it was secure and well supported with no leaks when pressure tested, I would probably have just advised on it to cover my back.
The reason for support is that the plain copper work hardens quicker in my opinion so more likely to fracture if subject to vibration.
One I did fail was a where a couple of lads had brazed a join in a brake pipe to a s/h brake pipe.

I have managed to break off a drain nipple. Am now waiting delivery of 2 new master cylinders c/w drain nipples.
Never Rains.

Thanks group . I myself was concerned about it hanging lower. It won't get re-MOT for at least a month. So I will follow up.
(old bad memory) if I remember.
