    My 2012 107 just passed it’s free MOT at Halfords with an advisory of a nail in the rear tyre and tread a bit low so I’ll replace that ASAP. Couldn’t fault the service at the Cheadle Branch, in at 1:30 and then off for a bimble around B&M Home Bargains while they carried out the MOT.

    I hope you're going to complain at the flagrant pressure instilled upon you to spend wads of extra cash that you can ill afford at a time like this, and having paltry advisories just to make you get your wallet out. (P.S. Good to see it went through - and good to know there was a nail in the tyre - better now than going flat on the Motorway the next time you're in a rush - oh and my opening comment was tongue in cheek for all the naysayers that said how Halfords would fail everyone!)

    Did you cut and paste the whole code including the word FREEMOT? My code came back invalid if I just used the numbers

    Just followed the instructions online.
    When did you try and input the code ? as i think it had to be done before the 19th or 20th of this month.

    Last time I went to Kwik Fit they said I needed a £20 can of BG44K to pass the MOT.

    Would never use any of these national chain fast fit places again.
