• Dealer health check vs an MOT tester will be two different things.

    They will probably last a lot longer than 7k miles (depending on how much you drive and how / where etc). Rust is normally lack of use!

    I'd probably run them until they fail an MOT. (you may not want to do that though.)

    My Subaru has had an "advisory" on it's rear brake pads for 3yrs on a trot and i've never changed them and it's never actually failed on them.

  • I have found in some instances that when I used main dealer for servicing and MOT their "pre-mot health check" was a mechanism to just sell parts earlier than you really needed.
