Now we all know you cant run 2 wheels without the other 2 going onn a rolling road etc,so will the MOT guy know this,not being funny but ive seen some right messes occur at some garages i worked at few yrs back.

for the brake test im on about.

shall i be proper **** and say its 4x4 or just be quiet ?

I never thought of that b4,can they just do a visual on the brakes?i had mine done not long ago and passed but didnt have the 4 wheel drive rolling road.if they did make a mess of yr car i assume they would have to pay 4 the damage.

They should do exactly the same as an Impreza, ie road test with that device that measures braking force...

I had my MOT this week.

They did a visual inspection of the brakes whilst I sat 10ft up in the air on the ramps pressing and releasing the pedal followed by a road test. The tester wasn't sure if the subaru had a full LSD for the 2 wheel brake tester. I wasn't sure if it could be used either so we went on the safe side and didn't.

I was also wary of the handbrake test as they tend to pull the handbrake whilst on the rollers.

impreza should never be brake tested on a two wheel brake tester at a mot.... if they try then they should not be testing cars, visual inspection then a couple of short brake tests on the road with a g force meter in the footwell,and i mean short,twenty meteres mine travelled for the tester to confirm the brakes were ok....... cant think of its correct name at the moment

This thing anyways
