By all means go back to them and report. But - unless you asked them to do other work - the MoT test does nothing to the car's innards beyond starting the engine and running it to measure the emissions. On paper it looks like a coincidence - unless they have tinkered with something to create work ... :-(

Probably a coincidence

Try disconnecting the battery for 5 mins and then re-connect - a bit like the computer when it hangs - a re-boot solves lots of issues.

Make sure battery terminals are on tightly and have the code for the radio if it needs one!

Renault Megane Dynamique convertible - Problems straight after mot pass - Galaxy

My niece used to own a Renault Megane.

On one occasion she experienced very similar symptoms to what you describe, OP, after having her car cleaned and valeted. Clearly some moisture had found it's way into the electrics which isn't difficult on a Renault! They aren't renowned for the quality of their electrics, I'm afraid.

The fault cleared after running the heater on full for about an hour and drying everything out.

You didn't happen to have your car cleaned after the MOT did you, OP?
