I agree they need to be changed.
did they say how many hours they would expect it to take to change the lines n bleed the system?

iam sorry your wrong, paint/ undersealer dosent have any affect on the mot, its down to the Tester to assess wether its excessively corroded/damaged
Chafing,corrosion ,or damage to,a rigid brake pipe so that its wall thickness is reduced by 1/3 ( eg approximately 0.25mm for a typical hydraulic brake pipe) is a reason for rejection.
