I get it there is a cost involved but how would you feel about the money if you are upside down in a ditch with a broken leg and a gash on your face?

As far as Halfords I would not entrust them to MOT a push bike, the one near me has been ripping people off for years with work being done that was not required and failing cars on points that most sensible MOT testers would give an advise on. Find a local garage that does only MOT's, they are not interested in getting work so will be fare and if you use them all the time you will build up a relationship with them and that can help.

I have no issues with anything you say
The tyres are on order, all 4.
The brakes will be sorted once the tyres are on as I can't drive the car with the 'dangerous, do NOT drive' flag.


It's just the arrogance of them
