Oh botheration! Car will be 3 years old first week of August, serviced regularly to keep 5 year warranty active, I was rather hoping on a 6 month delay and to combine next service and MOT at a reduced price with dealer. Waste of a morning for me!

At least there is some notice time so I've been able to book the MOT with the franchise dealer who regularly services the car, in preference to a local unknown who may well discount the MOT price to find faults that don't exist.

I prefer the opposite logic - I use a trusted local indy to do MoT tests and get an independent opinion - then get the dealer to fix the issues under warranty.
