Fog lights and the MOT test

FarmerPug · Post by **FarmerPug** » Sun Apr 06, 2014 3:37 pm

I bought a replacement bumper for the 106 with fog lights, the car has no wiring or switches for the fog lights but i bought them parts just havent had the time to get them wired up. Can the car be put through an MOT test with fog lights that dont work? I could fit the blanking plates back on until i get the chance to wire them in, but i am just curios as to how the mot works.

Unfortunately anything used on or after the 1st of April 1980 requires a working rear fog.

Sorry, i forgot to say this is on the front bumper

The rear one is still working ok.

If it is fitted to the car then it MUST work, ( except rear wiper and reverse light ) if you fit the blanks instead, or simply take them out, then no problem.

My previous car up to mid 2012 was a 106 with front foglights that didn't work.
No comment from MOT testers over 3+ years.

OOOh, I stand corrected.

I have known cars to fail an MOT on front fogs but I think that was because the lens was cracked.

So, rear wiper, reversing light and front fogs are not required to work..

Apologies, Kelv.
