Will a 2002 petrol car fail its MoT if the engine management light is illuminated?

Asked on 13 May 2019 by Darren Thompson

Answered by Dan Powell

Your car will not fail the MoT due to the engine warning light being on. This MoT rule only applies to diesels that were registered after 1 July 2008 and petrols that were registered after 1 July 2003.
