the n/s brake chamber/actuator may have a fault ,the best thing to do is have a brake roller test carried out ,the readings from this will tell you where the fault lies ,this is not that expensive and should cost around 20 to 30 pounds .

Assuming its a smaller Cargo - 0811, 0813 etc (air over hydraulic), check your brake master cylinders and reservoirs - on the chassis side rail (outside). Make sure there is brake fluid in both reservoirs. Could be there is a leak and if so there may be no fluid in one of these reservoirs. Depening on whether its an L or V split, you may have full brakes on rear but only one on the front.
Needs to be checked out. Should not be driven until its resolved.

Hi, there maybe a chance that the pads have worn down to the metal in which case it needs doing as soon as you can, if you get it done like now you might just need the pads if you leave it you will end up needing disc as well, you will also need to do both sides, if you dont it will have an in balance when it comes round for the mot.

If it pulls to the right then the brakes on the left aren't working properly. This is potentially dangerous. Get it checked out by someone who knows what they're doing asap.
