I have to say, that was an excellent video you've produced! The discs, pads and caliper seem to be in A1 order.
Your fault is in the cable, as we have said before......the handbrake lever can produce much more force than you can by hand.
Set yourself the task of fitting a new cable, taking care to buy the correct one from a reputable motor factors. Replace the springs on the calipers and all will be well.
Small tip.....when I'm doing rear brakes I have both sides jacked up to the same height and when the lever lifts one or two clicks, I check that the braking force is about the same on each wheel.
Of course, the MOT test shows up any discrepancy very accurately indeed but my way is a start.

Thank you very much, that was a very kind thing to say. I tried to get everything in the video that you guys were asking me to check.
I would prefer to try and adjust the cable and as you said previously adjusting them should ensure many more years of use from them. If I can't adjust them I will consider changing the cables but I'd be needing you guys help along the way if I change the cables
Please
I just now want to know how to get the centre console off to get at the mechanism inside and see if it can be adjusted or not. I not sure why it the condilrsconsole not coming out

Yes I am but you're getting in the way ! I want you blocked from my posts I've heard a lot of things about you from other such as you're a constant troll
As far as the MOT and the construction and use act is concerned, it is a secondary brake. Okay, you operate it by hand so you call it a handbrake but it could be electronically operated. A road vehicle MUST have two differently operated braking systems, (certain exceptions such as a fully prepared road rally car can have a hydraulic secondary brake). The primary (or foot brake) and secondary (in your case, a cable operated brake) must be independent of each other. The main purpose of the secondary brake is as an emergency brake in the event of failure of the primary braking system. It is usually used for parking too. The fact that you are intentionally driving a vehicle on the road having disconnected the secondary braking system means you are breaking the law and committing an offence. There’s no other way to look at it I’m afraid.

It’s your responsibility to ensure your brakes work correctly and pose no risk to the safety of you, your passengers or the general public. Only one part of your braking system has to be proven as faulty for you to be found guilty of driving with defective brakes. You could be penalised with three points and fined up to £5,000".
