Anybody got their voucher code yet for the free MOT?
I made a purchase last Wednesday, 7 days ago, no code yet.

Halfords website says "up to 7 days".

    Have you checked to ensure you met all the conditions for the free MoT?

    It does indeed say up to 7 days, which probably should be taken as 7 calendar days, but it could perhaps be 7 business days (in which case they ought to specify that).

    Yes conditions met, gave required details at till, just asking to check if any others have received the code after 7 days , although as you say it could be business days, so may wait another couple of days.

    I bought something on Friday and got the code on Tuesday. Are you sure they got your Email right?

    That is what I am concerned about.

  • Free / cut-price MoT = Fail in my experience; total waste of time.
  • Got the code two days ago, booked an MOT today for 1st Oct, code worked so £0 charge.

    Mind you, have not received yet the confirmation email but have printed the confirmation page. So can't say I am 100% confident it's on the system...

    Do report back what they fail it on please; should give us all a laugh.

    No such thing as "free" and Halfrauds certainly aren't a charity. Prepare to be spanked!

    always take the jeep in for a discounted mot at kwikfit or ats, never had an issue. (Stirling branches)
