Mot passed today, but what does this print out mean- please

Post by H Julia »

Hi folks, haven't seen this debated but I might have missed it so direct me if need be!
On the sheet with my MOT about my brakes it says SB force 1264 kgf is 66% efficient and the PB force 439 kgf is 23% efficient
Then under left 386 KGB and right 421kgf it says imbalance 20%
Then under Pedal F on the left of the sheet - weight 996 kg LRR 23kgf RRR 29 kgf it says efficiency 80%
On the right of the sheet it says weight 924kg LRR 16kgf RRR 13 kgf it says efficiency 50%

Sorry if the way I've set this out isn't too clear , but can anyone help me make sense of this. It passed so is ok but is there anything I should be looking at getting done?

So, the mot passed was good news, but I had to spend over an hour on the bus to collect it and when I got home I found a parking ticket on my car because I had forgotten to move what is called a merged ticket from the van to the car :roll: :cry:

Thanks Scottbott .Maybe I should just keep it simple and be glad it passed and not ask too many questions! I didn't get an emission result either. I think I have before, though maybe not last year.

PB (parking brake) .... hand brake.
SB (service brake) .... Foot brake.
