Hi. My daughters car (1989 Mitsubishi mirage) failed it wof due to car pulling to left under braking. Mechanic said pads are fine just give it all a clean up. My partner bled and changed brake fluid on all 4 sides, no damaged brake lines, front pads all good no uneven wear. We freed up and lubed the slide pins in the front. Taken car for a test and it is just the same. Is there anything else we can try.

Hi there,
It may be that the calliper pistons (the round pot that press onto the actual pad) are a bit seized, You can check the boots for cuts or rust inside which would give you an insight.
They may not be applying pressure evenly across the pads and causing more pressure on one brake than the other.
