Don't worry that is quite normal. You only need the one fog light

I can confirm that only one (offside) rear fog is OK for an MOT. My Nissan Almera is the same - just a plastic moulding with no bulb holder behind the red lens. This is simply a penny-pinching trick by the car manufacturers. At least my car has two reversing lights - some vehicles have one reverse light (nearside) and one rear fog (offside). I suppose a nearside fog could be fitted by obtaining a fitting from a left hand drive vehicle!

thanks... everyone...

just one more dumb question. rear windscreen washer does not work (front is fine) anyhting to worry about ? (yes ..I know.. I should have checked all this before the eve of the test !!!!!)

no rear washer isnt part of the test.

its all change from monday with the new re-test regs.

Two is good though, for when tailgaters get irritating ;-)

Reg what are the basic changes in the regs ?

Careless reversing = break light :-)

have a look here, be easier for you to digest then me try and explain the full regs.

Thank you for that Reg. Gio

I notice it changed from 'brought back by the end of the next working day and retested' to 'brought back by the end of the next working day'... I was wondering how many garages would use the loophole of not managing to retest it next day even though it was brought back in time, and charging anyway. But now they can't.

Unless I missed something..
