Whats wrong with my car.
Whenever I break firmly it feels like the front wheels/axle are carrying on moving forwards. Does anyone have any idea what this could be.

Its not my car, its a company car and its up for its Mot soon, won't be driving it much till then. Would it show up on the Mot or sorry should it if it is a proper Mot, think the garage is a bit dodgy last time needed two new tyres two weeks after passing Mot because completely bald. It has to go to that car garage though.

should be ok if you drive it sensibly. but try and avoid driving far mate. get the abs and all that checkd and go to a proper MOT center and not a dodgy 1. life is more important than saving a few quid fela

I would not rely on MOT to show up faulty brakes, as it is just a very basic visual inspection and efficiency test, that can be easily passed on a modern car by using mars bars for brake pads.

The car has today passed its MOT with the problem I stated, it also has a slight crack in the windscreen which I thought would be a fail as its in the path of the wipers. I dont pay anything towards the car, so I dont have a choice where it goes for its MOT/Service.
Sounds like a dodgy garage to me and a main dealer also!
