Unless it's changed in recent MOT updates then I understand it as follows: if fitted and connected (but not working) - it's a fail. If fitted but not connected its an advisory. Although the tester isn't allowed to check if the light is connected so it should always be a pass and advise really.

I sorted it on the cheap with 50m of eBay special cat 6 cable routed around the perimeter of the house externally, an old...

I do need to wind it down a bit more now though!
