1997 Ford Escort 1.6 Encore

Looking at HML,I can see the Encore Auto peaked in 1998 with 4.5k... now down to just 100. Although this one is MoT'd until the 6th of November, I can see it failed an MoT test on the 15th of October.

 

Test Result: Fail.

 

Reason(s) for failure

Service brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)
