does a car HAVE TO have side repeaters to pass an mot? as mine from the factory never had any as standard. its a 1990 jap import

You have to be able to see the indicators flashing from standing side on, so im guessing yes! But if it didnt come with any as standard, I dont see what they can do!

Old cars didn't! (think mk1 fiestas etc!)

anyone know the propper rules tho?

If it matters a lot, for the MOT go to maplin. Buy a few LED's in orange and some low guage cable. Splice it off ur front indicators and run the wire through the engine bay on top of your mirrors. MOT passed

yep thats what i've seen too GR! nothin about them!

If the car is fitted with them as STD then they must work and be not letting white light out.

BUT if the car has NO holes in the wings then NO they are not part of the MOT
