Our 2005 R52 passed its MOT test last week (mandatory yearly checkup here in the UK).
The garage noted that the brakes were a little spongy, although they still seemed to work ok on the real & rolling roads when being tested. Also, they couldn't see any leaks in the braking system and by definition of passing the MOT test, the discs & pads were checked & found to be ok.
The braking seems to have got more spongy & less responsive in the past week. It feels like if I pump the pedal a few times that braking improves but I haven't driven the car very much to be certain & scientific.
Does anyone have any thoughts? It could be unrelated but we've also noticed an occasional knocking noise from the rear passenger side when cornering at slow speeds.
Thanks,
Steve
