IMO this shows the value of the yearly MOT which i'm sure is seen by some as a pain in the arse but its there to help keep the car safe and roadworthy and by finding the damaged brake hose its lived up to its purpose.
I've had a couple of other jobs done as well.
Front brake discs and pads replaced as well as the front and rear vacuum engine mounts. I did a vacuum test a while ago and found both mounts leaking.
Still loving the car with a few more jobs to do in the summer including changing rear discs, pads and handbrake shoes. Change auto transmission fluid and change rear coils as they are a bit corroded.

That’s great news! I don’t think there is a person in the U.K. that thinks an MOT finding damage to your brake lines is a bad cost for an MOT.
What people resent is being told your cat is damaged and will cost £900 whilst you step outside to see all the airliners taking people abroad for £29 with fuel that is duty free.
