You seem far too happy to be forking out a grand for an MOT...
What were the major things and what kind of Audi?

Probably to be expected. I did hear about it on the radio, my MOT still has another 6 months though. Personally I avoid the local audi dealer and use a specialist instead.
Do you have to get them to do the work?

Hence why the MOT was free, TBH same as these £25 places, they make the money in labour repairing them!

i really dispise some people and there opinions on this
its done for customer retention
techs have a duty to report everything on the car, weathers its MOT or a safety item or something that needs further attention
its not done to rip people off

Yes i used to work for volvo i know how it all works, what im saying is, with them giving out free MOT's, more people will take their custom there, therefor giving them a greater chance of getting the repair job, in return making more money for themselves
