My father's 95 M Toyota Carina E 1.6xi recently was MOT'd and passed, but the tester 'advised' us that the rear brake pipes were slightly corroded. Is this a serious problem, and is it an expensive job? Will corroded pipes have any effect on braking performance? Is it advisable that the pipes are replaced in the very near future?
Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Testers favourite this. Nothing wrong with the car, but surface rust is always worth a mention. Just scrape off the rust, clean up with a bit of fine emery cloth and check that there is no pitting. Smear grease over affected area.
