Default diagonal brakes binding
This is strange one.
Car has been at garage having a track rod end, and the air bag light fix done.

they have checked calipers and they dont think its that. As he said he would free them off and say if it happens again i would need new one's. He thinks it is a electric problem. Is there anyway by doing the pass air bag light fix, that could cause a problem.

Could be the handbrake that's the problem,especially if they've yanked it hard doing the MOT. Might not be returning properly to free off the calipers.

I think that thats a good call - it provides the connection between the brakes "suddenly" binding and the car being in the hands of the testers.
