My 1993 less than 100k valver went in for it's mot, Needed a few bits amongst these were rear discs and bearings...

 

Imagine my suprise when the discs were date marked 93!

 

Think i'll keep them as a homage, Amazingly enough there not too bad either!

I was amazed something as consumable as a disc has lasted so long!

 

Shame the caliper carrier bolts were rusted to :censored:

So it passed then mate???

 

Kate hardly used the handbrake it never worked (that might be the reason the discs were past it lol)

Not yet, Just got to send it off for all the brake lines to be done. Not a bad fail sheet though!

Most of the usual stuff has been done on that car the main one being the heater matrix, Katy did look after Damien he was just evil to Katy lol

Yeah, most Golfs I had were on original rear discs and bearings up to around 100k... 17 Years is good though!

 

It's crap pattern parts that leads people to believe that you need to change discs / bearings every 2-3 years...
