I'm particularly concerned about the inclusion of a speedo check (on the checklist) as mine isn't working. From Google's NG archive, I see that this question has come-up before -- answers being along the lines of "there must be a speedo fitted but whether it's working isn't part of the MoT".



Is this still the case?

Or the sidecar.

For Class V - ie, trucks - yes. For cars, as the pdf form says - N/A.
