I looked at these systems but found that if an SVA test will be taken they will not pass the 'mechanical' definition.
Although they are on new cars, the SVA definiton still has to be met, even having been passed on 'type approval'

Chances are that an MOT would not pick up on this so you would probably get away with it if you do not need the SVA.

It is a bit like the 'Hi-Spec' hydro/mechanical rear calipers that some of the SVA Vehicle inspectors rejected; I believe these have been redesigned now to apply the handbrake totaly mechanicaly.
