The Ftype is 4 next week so took it into Marshalls for an MOT this morning.
It only went and failed! One of the headlamp washers had stopped working. Luckily it was just a disconnected hose, still cost me £80 to get it sorted.
Also just looking into service plan v paying for each one as they come up.

I always get my annual service and MOT done together - that way if it fails the guys haven't done their job properly. ;)

I’ve found in the past that free MOT’s are hidden in the overall cost of the service.

There are very few things that are actually free!!! ;)

That's my experience, too. No such thing as free coffee at a dealership. ;)

@Glaf.
It's a -kind of- compensation for the higher hourly rates of the stealers..
