Where did you take it? I assume he did the emissions on plate age! Will always pass on that

The old decelarometer, that's all we had to test brakes back in the dark ages when I was a MOT tester!!

There is an older type than that with a pendulum that swings as you brake. Even though it is an older system it is more accurate as it shows up even mild left or right pull.

The readings are on an old compression tester type chart that the bottom point on the swinging arm marks. The radius of the marker is kept at a constant by the card holder being a half radius.

When I had my2b every mot they used the same thing as ian's post
