Any MOT testers out there???

[Abdulmajid]

Scenario.

One wing has a working side indicator (side repeater)

The other wing has nothing. New wing without even a hole for the repeater.

Will this pass an MOT or does one have to be silly and tape over the working one to make the car equal as such?

I am aware side repeater are NOT a legal requirements but can a car be unequal?

Thank you.

The answer will depend on a few details of the car, including it's age.

Cars first used on or after 1st April 1986 MUST be fitted with one side repeater indicator on each side. Instead of a separate lamp, the side repeater might be part of the front direction indicator if it includes a wraparound lens.

Based on the assumption that the original wings include separate repeaters, is the car in question post 1986 and not equipped with wraparound lenses? If so then the missing repeater will be an MOT failure.

side repeaters are a legal requirement for any car manufactured after 1st april 86 therefore as aber says they must be present
