Presuming you tried them both seperatly, ,and as both pedals are mechanical, (discounting the brake light switch) it sounds like….

  1. Either a wire is getting snagged when both pedals are pressed
  2. Something under the bonnet is getting snagged

or I supposed the clutch may need adjusting and/or faulty and the brake pedal is compounding and existing problem there.

Hope that helps
