Default Brake issue? Maybe?...

Hi all.

So I've just taken my 1999 v40 in for a wof (NZ equivalent to an mot)

Picked the car up to find out it had failed due to excessive brake travel.

After speaking with the women who did the test she said yeah, there is too much travel in the pedal.

I replied that brake pedal travel is very subjective.
She said the front pads were very low so I will change these, can't see that having much impact on pedal travel but oh well.

She then went on to say that their brake rollers were showing the fronts at 300 and rears at only 100 under full brake.
Not sure what these numbers are but she seems sure the rears are not working properly.

I will also try bleeding all 4 corners.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!!
