Nissan Micra - Brake imbalance in Rear Brakes - westberry

Car is an Nissan Micra 1.0 year is 1998. Car failed NCT( MOT ) on rear brake imbalance on the rear axle and the handbrake.

The handbrake cable and wheel cylinder have being replaced. wheel cylinder had being leaking. They were both changed couple of weeks before test.

Could imbalance be due to worn brake shoes or would it also include springs.

Grateful of advice.

Thanks Patrick

More likely to be brake fluid having leaked onto the shoes one side.
