    The second they bought the car it was their responsibility. Do not pay for their bill because for all you know they could of been driving a little too fast at certain points and had to use the brakes pretty roughly a few times and if it passed its MOT the brakes would of had to of been in a fit state in the first place to pass!

    Please update the thread when you have sorted this out i would be interested to see how this situation plays out.

    After a few texts I was told 'don't worry' about it anymore. Haven't seen or spoken since! Thanks everyone for posts- very helpful! Note to self, NEVER sell anything to family again :)

    car was worth approx £3500, sold for £3200 to brothers partner. very low mileage for diesel car, rarely driven due to medical issues, fully upkept (taken for run by myself, MOT's done, work carried out on airbag sensor, new tyre etc)
    Main ford dealer quoted £150 IF (mechanic who did MOT says very doubtful) all pads NEEDED replacing, kwik fit charged nearly £400.
