Just had a peugeot free health check done to discover some bad news ( as to be expected ) lol
First of all ill note the car had a new Mot on 22/12/2012
All was noted front disc's corroded - they got replaced and break pads
5 months on now today peugeot report
oil leak from behind cambelt covers
excessive play in n s f anti roll barlink
rear pads worn by 95%
rear brake discs corroded
what is the legal brake pad % because sounds to me they should of been changed at the Mot time and the discs? If so then i will take the car back to the garage
But anyway oil leak behind cam cover how severe is this likely to be??
thanks for any help in advance

There is no legal limit to how worn brake pads and discs can be.
As far as the tester is concerned, if the brakes perform to the required standard on the rollers, then it's OK. If worn excessively, then they can advise you change them.
You can't hold a garage responsible for a car owners poor maintenance regime. It takes seconds to check how much friction material is left. By the time there is none left, it's too late. If your car goes in for an annual service, then I'd expect the garage to point out problems like that, otherwise it's just down to the owner to keep on top of things.

the rear ones should have been changed at the same time! I wouldn't bother with the hassle, i would just buy them and do them yourself.

take the camcover off and check the seal, might just be nipped, dont pay peugeot for stuff like that, the link is probably one of the easiest things to replace

Aux belt

With that mileage, it's worth paying the money and keeping hold
