Would a broken daytime running light be an MoT fail?

My 2013 Volvo V40 offside daytime running light is out - would this be an MoT fail?

Asked on 27 January 2020 by Thomas Walmsley

Answered by Dan Powell
No, the car will not fail the MoT. Daytime running lamps are only inspected on cars first used on or after 1 March 2018.

The offside daytime running light on my 2016 Kia Cee'd intermittingly flickers. If this condition occurred during it's MoT would this be a failure?
My car has failed its MoT as there is only one rear fog light working. Does my Rover 75 have one or two rear fog lights?
Maybe I am a bit dim but in your MoT failure stats it states one failure category as "Vehicle ID No." What on earth does that mean in terms of failure?. Or are they talking about the number plates?
