MOT fail today, fluctuating brake issue

Tested this morning three items to address.

Repair immediately (major defects):
a-Rear Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (6.1.2 (a))
b-Nearside Brake pipe excessively corroded front to rear (1.1.11 (c))
c-Nearside Rear Service brake excessively fluctuating (1.2.1 (e))

I don't have the tools for brake pipes so someone else will have to do that.
I fitted the current exhaust, so that's not an issue.

A bit unsure on c)

is that likely to be a caliper issue? Wouldn't be caused by the corrosion would it?
I fitted new rear pads last week, and one side was worn slightly unevenly. i think it was the nearside.
