I was always of the understanding that a *missing* SRS malfunction indicato r lamp would be an MOT failure, and indeed that's many online manuals appea r to suggest e.g.
I bet some testers will still fail it though if they're not keeping up with the fine print! If however these changes in the test are widely communicat ed does anyone know why this bit of the test has been relaxed?
I note that the ABS malfunction indicator lamp still much be present/workin g/fault-free so it strikes me as odd the lack of consistency although grant ed it's not necessarily comparing apples with apples.
