The annual MOT is a requirement for every car between three and 40 years old, so millions of motorists head to a registered garage each year to go through the safety test. 

And you might think the MOT test is a pretty standard price, currently set at £54.85 for passenger cars. However, it's not unusual for garages to offer a discount, and we've seen prices drop to around £40 plenty of times. 

This deal, though, at an ATS Euromaster branch in Oldbury, West Bromwich, brings the price down to just £27.49 - and that's got to be one of the cheapest MOTs in the country. 

MOTs are a legal requirement - but it's rare to see them offered this cheaply

That's not all though, because if you book your car in for a bargain MOT you can also take up the offer of either a free battery check or a free wheel alignment check.

Getting your battery checked in the winter is a really good idea, because its cells can suffer in the cold weather. If yours is on its way out, ATS will give you 10% off a new one as part of this deal. 

And a wheel alignment can extend the life of your tyres, reduce fuel consumption, and even reveal hidden dangers. Potholes and uneven road surfaces can knock them out of kilter, so it's a good time to check this out after a big freeze. If you need an alignment after the free check, this deal gets you 20% off.

There are 66 ATS branches offering the deal, through Groupon

To sign up for this free deal, you have to start off with Groupon. You buy a voucher on the Groupon website here, then go to the ATS website to book a slot. Make sure you bring your Groupon voucher with you, and you'll sidestep the usual £47.99 price, and you can sit back and sip on a coffee in the waiting room, basking in the knowledge that all the other people sat alongside you paid a lot more. 

That's the sort of emotional boost we all need in January, isn't it?
