Hi All

Currently my 2023 Fabia is in for 3 year service and MOT at local Skoda dealer

Part of the free safety check has flagged in red urgent rear drum clean due at a cost of £174 !

Car has only driven 20k miles and brakes works fine , including handbrake

Is this a con ? or needs doing

Thanks Steve

Has it had the MOT yet?

Not yet I'm guessing they service car then MOT ?

I have no idea how they can judge that the drums need cleaning, without removing them to look inside. They will not have done this, unless you specifically asked them to, I would think.

If they had looked, it's only 5 minutes more work to clean them out while they're in there!

So I would recommend ignoring this dubious suggestion and letting the MOT decide if it's really required.
