Do both my fog lights need to work to pass an MoT?

My offside rear fog light turns on but nearside doesn't. Will this fail an MoT on the basis 'all lights should be working' or since the critical offside fog light works it will pass?

As you point out, the offside fog lamp is mandatory, whereas the nearside fog lamp is not testable so should not be given as a failure if it is inoperative.
