Front Floor brake test indicates a sticking brake (3.3.C2c)

keep a check on the rear tyre as there is no center tread to tell you when to replace the tyre.

the holes in the front brake disc would benefit from cleaning out the brake dust.

the problem with the binding brake may be the friction material coming away from the backing as it looks like a small gap is visible, if not the pistons and seals might need looking at.
