A very good explanation! (And sorry if I got your location wrong). Yes, you understood my question exactly - I didn't realise the 'crimped' end solution could be made with flexi-pipes - but from what you say it's not really a 'home made' option because of the expense of construction. Everyday is a school day!

I'd guess that an MOT inspection wouldn't involve looking closely at the makeup of the brake lines - i'm no expert but have got the impression the MOT is about testing functionality of the car, and looking for obvious faults or weaknesses (like rust in structural areas/etc). I'm not sure it is as indepth as looking at part specification for components...
