Free MOT T&C

To the OP;

The fact that they haven't got a copy of their T & C's at the time makes it easier for you to pursue a potential claim for the cost of all future MOTs. Under the Protection Against Unfair Trading regs 2008, the key issue is who the deal or offer was being advertised at the time you bought the car. You could argue that the 'offer' of a free MOT for the time you own the car swayed you into making the purchase. Providing you comply with the terms of the offer, the onus is on them to prove that they have good reason to revoke it. As far as I can see, you have complied with their terms by having the car serviced and MOT'd at a franchised dealership. I think it's reasonable for you to expect that you have fulfilled your obligations under the offer.

Oh and by the way.... legal documents should be kept for at least 6 years I believe as you can claim back as far as that.

Thanks Tilt, I will take this forward to them and see what they say. I had my brother with me atm and we both remember him specifically asking about the T&C to make sure I dont break any clauses.. And the guy piped up and said its not nec SEAT it just had to be SEAT parts. However, I still continued to go to SEAT regardless for services/MOT etc because it was easier. Expensive but easier!
