just had my 3 year service/MOT, no problems.

but I know that the wheels have never been off.

the locking wheel nut key is always in the car, but I know it has never been used.

the car has only done 18500mls, but I would have thought that removing the road wheels should be at least part of one of the services ??

It's standard service procedure to have them off, a visual brake and suspension check is part of the service, and this does involve taking them off. They do use their own wheel nut keys though, ours hasn't moved either...part from when I've used it

And if you ask them not to clean your car you have handprints on the wheel and around the nuts. Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35
Family's: 2009 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Auto, Stornoway

if you read the service schedule the wheels should be swapped every year on a Freelander

I still don't think they have ever been off, must be my suspicious nature !!

first chance I get I'll take them off and have a nosey around.

that's if they are not stuck to the hubs !!
