Do I buy? rear brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material pipes
#4
The 306's were fitted with steel brake pipes from the factory, covered in a plastic coating.  They do corrode, particularly the pieces of solid line that run from the rear flexi hoses to the calipers.  If original those may well need replacing.  A lot of the other pipes on my car (the ones running along the bottom of the floor pan) are original & showing some light corrosion but pass the MOT fine.

Getting a garage to replace a few shorter sections of line that are heavily corroded with new cupro-nickel lines shouldn't break the bank.
