Sticking Calipers & MoT

(1/2) > >>

Hi - my car just passed an MoT last weekend and this week I had it booked in for a DSG oil and filter change at my local dealer.  As part of this they performed a visual health check where they diagnosed sticking rear Calipers.  So in an attempt to resolve this issue I booked it back in to have the Calipers stripped and cleaned, but the dealers called me stating I needed 2 new Calipers, discs and pads at a cost of £1006 for oem parts or £850 for non oem parts. 

I've 2 questions.... Firstly should this have been picked up during the MoT, if so it was performed at a Indy garage I trust, if not what do people think to the quoted prices given it's with dealer labour rates of £90/hour (discounted from £115).

Thanks in advance.

It would of been picked up at the mot..and a grand to replace them is  ridiculous. Check them your self by jacking the car up and try spin the rear wheel with the hand brake of

chris s:
