MOT: Quick checks to do before having your test<\/h3>\n

MOT tests can be pricey for motorists on tight budgets with garages able to charge a whopping \u00a354.85 for the annual check.<\/p>\n

The annual safety check is a legal requirement and motorists will not be legally allowed to drive without a valid pass certificate in place.<\/p>\n

But, timing an MOT test is also vital with slots at popular garages often being filled weeks in advance.<\/p>\n

Leaving things to the last minute made it a little tricky to secure a slot for my Alfa Romeo MiTO at one of the garages our family regularly uses.<\/p>\n

This prompted a frantic online search for something different within the limited time I had until my current certificate would expire.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A few clicks later, I stumbled upon a tempting offer which at first sounded too good to be true. The advert promised a free MOT test for signing up to Halfords Premium Motor Club for just \u00a34.99 per month.<\/p>\n

Hesitantly, I joined the service and believed my initial excitement at the massive savings would soon be deflated.<\/p>\n

Although I wasn\u2019t disappointed and a few seconds later it dawned on me that this was a legitimate offer.<\/p>\n

As the page loaded I was given the option of booking my test at several Halfords-affiliated garages in the area completely free of charge. Motorists can pay an extra few pounds to secure a slot at a better time which will be added to a final bill.<\/p>\n

I arrived ahead of my appointment at National Tyres and Autocare, a former independent retailer recently taken over by Halfords, still unsure whether this would work.<\/p>\n

However, the mechanics quickly confirmed my bill had indeed been paid and my car was quickly wheeled in for its assessment.<\/p>\n

Just over an hour later my phone rang. My 2010 Mito had passed and was fully legal for another 12 months.<\/p>\n

Millions of drivers have also benefited from the system with Halfords Premium Club Membership now sitting at a whopping 2.5million.<\/p>\n

A Halfords spokesperson said: \u201cWe take great pride in the success of our Halfords Motoring Club, specifically designed to cater to the needs of motorists.<\/p>\n
