What was the MOT fail code? Cables can seem perfectly fine, yet under tension one will bind more than the other as the lining is shot. Had this on a few cars failing MOTs on handbrake performance. I usually jack the rear up applying it click by click and see if its applying evenly and firmly by x number of clicks.

Its also important both ends of the cable are located in the correct place and firmly so the liner doesn't move when applied.
