Will my car fail and MOT

[FlameR]

With 3/4 plate, no side lights and no rear numberplate light?

Easy to sort obviously, just need to know before I take it in. Also, if they did say it had failed on having a 3/4 plate for example, could I just take the standard plate with me on collection and swap them over there and then?

 

[mattjk]

yes it will fail

the rear light and side lights i would imagine are a defo and yeah a friendly mot tester wouldnt have a problem with you swapping the number plate over, as long as the spacing looks ok id say it should pass

 

[christian rea]

just stick the plate over it with tape or somet

I thought that, cos at the mo its stuck on with neoprene with strong adhesive on both sides, if I start swapping the plates it will loose its stickiness!

Also, the passenger headlight is levelled quite high (tried changing it but it's f**ked), would they fail it for that as well?

maybe if you take all 4 wheels off to be sure then put it in for mot they might not notice the missing numberplate or light

well done that man!

 

[Christophe]

you don't need sidelights i dont think. the rear light for the number plate is MUST!

Dunno about the headlight depends how bad it is, they might sort it for you anyway.

 

[FlameR]

well if you stand infront on the car you can't notice it, but if you bend down to the level you would be in a car, it feckin blinds you

They will adjust the headlight height for you... They did with me anyway.

 

[FlameR]

well the place I was going to get it done is across the road from work, a family run garage, which I'm pretty sure have interbred a few times, so they probably won't know how to change the headlight level.

They pretty much told me to f**k off when I asked them to look at the speedo light as it wasn't working. I only use them for convenience

 

[kiza1986]

Im sure its a little nob on top of the light that you twist??

 

[Dansta]

3/4 number plate is ok though isn't it? i've got my mot next month... lol

 

[pinky]

You defo need sidelights. think you must have numberplate lights too.
