Got the old girl back from MOT to-day and to my great surprise she passed. Now, I'm not one for hanging around when they say "yes it passed" so when I got home and looked at all the test results I was a bit mystified.

Smoke test.

peak 1. 2.53 m-1
peak 2. 1.01 m-1
peak 3. 0.96 m-1
peak 4. 1.78 m-1

average 1.25

MOT result 1.25 PASS

Brake Test

service brake test

test speed 26 km/h
stopping dist. 5.0 m
front-back deceleration
peak 76%g
average 52%g
left-right deceleration
peak 4%g
vehicle pulls Right

MOT pass figures: service brake test, 50% secondary brake 25% parking brake 16%

I know it's a lot but could somebody translate this data for me and tell me if it is good or bad.
 
smoke test limit for turbo engine is 3.00 so passed ok, 76% braking eficiendy, ie you brakes are applying 76% force of the weight of your car so thats good and a 4% imbalance left to right so thats nowt to worry about, your allowed 25% imbalance(pull to left or right)
