Hi everyone,
Getting the car ready for an MOT. The handbrake ‘rubbers’ are perished or split. Will the car fail the MOT for this ?
Thanks, Richard

I think you will probably get away with it, as long as the handbrake actually works.

If it does fail you have 10 days to change the gaiters, so you aren't loosing much by taking the chance and putting it in for a test.

No. It won't or shouldn't fail on those.
Only if the cables are frayed or insecure.

May be I’ll cut them off and hope the inspector doesn’t realise that they’re missing ?!

They are not an item checked on the MOT.
