Your front are ventilated and the rear are not, hence the difference, the figures Uncle Benz gave are correct.

Yes that sound correct so if it fails the test I can argue the toss

The MoT test checks for efficiency...not wear

Once when I took the offroader for the test the guy said that the vented front discs looked a bit thin, said they were worn
I said all discs are worn to some degree so what would be the minimum disc thickness for this car, he didn't no so he passed the car.

I'm not replacing my discs unless I realy need to

Thanks for the replies
