  • Thank you OP. I was hoping to see a mistake on that.
    The links I posted from the centres webiste shows they were wrong to charge you for a retest.
    did you follow up and then ask them re last year?

    Many thanks but don't forget the link the evidence on their own website.
    Ask them re last year and if it was a mistake by a manager, I wonder how many other people have been charged.
    Good luck.

    Update. Got refunded retest fee for this year.  Didn't push a refund for last year as I took car away to repair and not sure I was eligible as I fitted new brake discs and pads

    Did you ask them why you was charged as their site clearly states they won't - i wonder how many others have suffered your fate.

    Many thanks for the update and I for one appreciates that as at times some can be a bit arrogant  towards someone asking a question.

    A few people I know have been stitched up at these test centres regarding m.o.t 's including some fictitious work. I think the "F" stands for fiddle.
