Land Rover Freelander 2 - 10 2.2 MOT brake efficiency - Almac
My son had an extensive service done on his Freelander including major work on the brakes before this year's MOT. His 2018 MOT certificate showed the braking efficiency at 81% yet the current one shows this at 56%. Does this mean that the brakes need to be adjusted or is efficiency 'relative' in some way. Thanks, Almac.
"The minimum brake efficiency requirement for ‘M1’ vehicles first used on or after 1 September 2010 has been increased to 58%. ‘M1’ vehicles are defined as: passenger vehicles with 4 or more wheels and not more than 8 passenger seats in addition to the driver’s seat. Obviously this covers cars, but also includes ambulances, dual purpose vehicles, motor caravans etc."

The description refers to MY10 so probably it was first used before 01/09/10?

He was going to phone the garage this morning but held off in case there was an explanation that this forum came up with. I think it was first registered 1 January 2010. Thanks everyone.
