In UK when your car is MOT'd, vehicle check at 3rd birthday and every birthday thereafter, they check the stopping efficiency of the brakes. If it is outside a defined limit it FAILS.However, this does not check brake fade, which when applying the brakes and due to length of time before you stop they heat up to a point which causes, usually the pads and or the discs, to subsequently fail. To me, brake fade is more important than brake failure, i.e. failure of a mechanical part which hinders the application of the braking system. PS most car will have a split braking systems so if one diagonal fails at least you don't loose all braking function. It's speed that kills not the braking system. The braking system is just a means to an end!!! My rant!!
