The pipe is secure with corrosion. Is this a fail.

I'm guessing the flexy ferrule that should be held in place by the clip has rusted itself solid in the mounting bracket . Pass and advise at worst if it is spotted . As far as I a aware there is no reason available to fail an insecure flexible brake hose for solely being insecure in its mounting .

But if it's going through a bracket and the Spring clip not there is it just inadequately supported which could be a minor.
