At my last MOT I got an advisory "Front brake pad(s) wearing thin" which did surprise me as I check them when I rotate the tyres every 10K and I’m not a heavy braker – so, against my instinct, I trusted the tester's discretion and bought a set of pads (Eurocarparts 50% off sale - woohoo!) and set about changing them, it transpired the pads were only one-third worn. So I've got an advisory on the MOT history that makes it look like the car isn't maintained correctly (I never let pads wear down past their last 20%) can I get this advisory removed? Is there a process to cover this? The standard MOT appeal process states it’s to report cars that passed and shouldn’t have or ones that failed and should have passed, neither case covers my issue - not terrible in the big scheme of things – I know, however, as most half sane people check the MOT history of vehicles they buy, I like to keep my MOT histories squeaky clean by keeping on top of maintenance.
