Failed Inspection - rust on rotors from not being driven much
Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked on April 5, 2021
Just attempted to have my car inspected in Vermont and the mechanic immediately said it would fail because of the rotors. He asked if the car has been sitting for a long time, and said that something "isn’t even making contact." I was at my dealership (in Massachusetts) just two weeks ago for a tire rotation, and they said nothing, marking the brakes as green for all linings and measurements. I’m trying to find a second mechanic to take a look but I’ve seen helpful feedback on here before, so what do y’all think?
One Answer
You are right to question this, those look a bit rusty but that will wear off with use. It's normal for brakes to get some surface rust when a car hasn't been driven. Go drive it with plenty of braking, then go to a different inspection center.
