Shocking! But then considering the ignorance of an alarming number of motorists these days not surprising!

Not having a dig, as I'm not exactly disciplined when it comes to regular checks, but surely if you hadn't visually checked them in ages there must have been some warning signs from the braking performance (or lack thereof) or nasty noises long before it got to that stage? :eye-poppi

Theirs no way that's passed a legal mot within the last year for them to get that bad
