Halford's Free Mot
Months ago somebody was asking about this offer and if it was worthwhile/
I bought a cheap item (a windscreen wiper that I needed) from Halford's six months ago and qualified for a free MOT, which I booked online as soon as I got home.
Happy to say my banging old banger sailed through the MOT - no faults, no advisories, no charge.

The answer is that they want to avoid the unnecessary expense of fixing non-genuine MOT failures – which plague the industry.
I too have used a council MOT station when I lived close-by; I also used to use an MOT station run by a firm MOTing their fleet of lorries. The MOT tester admitted to me that he had worked for a garage where he was paid commission on work the garage got through failed MOTs.
So you have to ask yourself, would such a tester correctly assess your vehicle when they are paid commission to fail it – I would ban such a payment system (if I had the power).
