It means the brake lines need to be replaced.
A local mechanic can do this for you. They will inspect them and give you a quote depending on what is needed.

Lines and hoses in the overall scheme of things aren't that expensive.

Some brake lines are awkward to replace sometimes in certain cars & that can push up the labour. I've had cars before fail nct before for corroded brake lines where there was only minimal surface rust, the pipe just need a rub with a wire brush. If the pipe has any piting or advanced rust it should be replaced though.
