Sounds good to me.
A micrometer and the specification is the proper way of establishing
wear surely though.

But unlikely to be the way the MOT tester "advises" a replacement.


Indeed. Unless you do a huge mileage, uneven disc wear and scoring are
likely to be more of a reason to replace that simple disk thickness..

I used to service a police driving instructors car. His brakes were like
new at 40,000 miles.

Glad I never had to drive behind him in traffic. But then he probably
never did drive in heavy traffic.

I'll bet he was a poor instructor. Given the very short life of brakes on
police cars.
