    A few weeks ago, I pulled the VFR out of hibernation and would appear I didn't clean it well enough. The front brakes were essentially seized. I've since managed to free things up, removed the calipers, allowed the pistons to come out a bit and given everthing a good clean up with some brake cleaning fluid, scrub with toothbrush, etc. All appears well again, bike stops as it should etc, however, on closer inspection it would appear one of the front discs didn't take too kindly being mated to the disc over the period and is pitted in one small area. See the attached thumbnail.

    Would this get through an MoT? - obviously I think I'm going to have to replace it at some point, but on reading up on MoT specs would suggest pitting would not fail an MoT, only if the disc is considered structurally compromised. However, piece of mind and all that but at £120 per disc I'm somewhat annoyed at myself.

    Thoughts?
