FAQs

Do I need new brake pads?

If your brakes are excessively worn or damaged, brake pad replacement may be required. GForce’s expert mechanics assess your brake pads’ condition and provide guidance accordingly. Additionally, a brake check might reveal that replacing the brake fluid often resolves the issue.

When to replace your brakes?

The frequency of replacing your car’s brake pads, discs, and fluids depends on your driving habits and usage patterns. Front brakes often wear out faster than rear brakes due to bearing the brunt of braking loads, especially in front-wheel-drive vehicles. It’s advisable to replace both front and rear brake pads once they reach a thickness of 3mm. Assess worn brake discs against the manufacturer’s specifications, replacing them if below the recommended measurement.

Do faulty brakes fail MOTs?

Yes, faulty brakes can cause your car to fail its MOT, rendering it unroadworthy. Without a valid MOT, you risk facing a £1,000 fine, which typically exceeds the cost of brake pad replacement.

How to inspect brake rotors?

During brake rotor inspection, look for signs of wear, such as scoring, grooves, or warping. Check for thickness using a micrometer; if the rotors are below the manufacturer’s minimum thickness, they need replacement. Listen for unusual noises while braking, and ensure the surface is smooth for optimal performance.
