An incorrect MOT fail would annoy me if it was for something like excessive corrosion to the structure as that may raise awkward questions when I came to sell the car. However no one in the future is really going to care if a car did or didn't need new brake pads in 2018.

Depends how anal you are about it. If I had a 10+ year old car and the MOT history was 100% pass every year, I'd be pretty peeved off having an erroneous fail spoiling it.

Also having a newish expensive car could put some people off when trying to sell it, as some might assume maintenance has been lacking if the brakes have been allowed to get dangerously low. Even though it wasn't the case.

I often sit here and think about situations which occurred two years ago where I may have been ripped off.
