The high rise (third) brake light has to work to pass, all brake lights fitted have to work.

The ABS light must come on with the ignition switched on, then go out within a reasonable time with the engine running. So taking the bulb out won't work lol

for the third brake light, it only fails if the tester can prooved that its wired up and is ment to work

yes, if they provide insufficient washer liquid its a fail

i was just wondering ive had my abs servo taken off and have now rerouted all my brake hoses and upgraded to stainless steel jobbies and took the abs light out the dash but i didnt take out the cabling or sensors, would this then class as an mot fail or not

[tomnelson]

if you have unpluged the light they will more than likely think it doesnt have abs but on the off chace they see a sensor im not sure how they would go about it. its abit risky :/

quick question...airbag light flashing is definatly a failure?

mot soon and got a momo wheel on a airbag light flashing lol

[shaun1400sx]

dont think they can fail you for an airbag light will be just down as an advisory i would of thought although they can for an abs light

[GRAHAM2000VTR]

air bag not a fail mate

[lillocky]

thanks mate could come in handy

[jeffchiz]

had my car mot'd yesterday did not fail on air bag light or not having a third brake light... one word of caution tho always run wheel arch liners!!!!!! i dont so they noticed a hole under my ecu which failed and now i need welding done lol better safe than sorry i presume but he said if i had arch liners he wouldnt have noticed it

[bucko1987]

i think you need a normal bulb mate

[vtrsam]

for the condition of lights, if the rear light has a slight but not noticeable crack which doesnt affect light operation, will it fail?

jonesy

[skitts]

If one number Plate light is out is that a fail or advisory

[SundayForever]

just a querie on this. where it says the mot test checks function for A.B.S do u mean that the warning light is functioning or the actual A.B.S system?
jus wanted to check as i had my vtr M.O.T'd on the 01/09/07 and on the 09/09/07 there was an accident in front of me on the motorway. which i would've been able to stop 4, had the wheels not locked up.
