Front fogs and the MOT? - NeilT
Hi,

I have been trying to find out some info for my Manager. She has a Punto with front fog lamps. One of them has a chip out of the lamp lense, but it still works.

I have searched every where as to whether this is a failure, but all website only mention testing of mandatory lamps, and rear fog lamps, not front.

Does anyone know the rules on front fog lamps and MOT's???

Cheers

According to the list front fogs are not a 'testable' item

Hmmm, I always thought lights, whether factory fitted, or aftermarket bolt on accessories had to work and be in good condition for an MOT pass. Cheers for info DVD.

DVD is absolutely correct (as usual). Unfortunately there are still testers out there who will try and fail you for any non-functioning light regardless . Ask them for an offical appeal form . This will normally prompt a rethink , or a check of the testers manual . If the book does not specifically say it is a failure , then it isn't . DeeJay.
