Got my mot due on Monday and I've just noticed that I've got 2 bulbs out on my high level brake light. Is this a fail for an mot?

Don't think so as long as most of it lights up, but I could be wrong. Just pop along to halfords or somewhere and pick up the bulbs, they should be easy to change assuming they are bulbs and not LEDs.

mine passed and when i noticed the guy drive the octy into garage i noticed mine had a couple out... so should be ok

it should fail on that. all of the lights have to work..... it used to be that if most of them were working it was a pass but they've changed the ruling on that recently

I stand corrected

Wrong...... it should pass and be an advisory, you can only fail them if you can see its permantley wired which in most cases you cannot..

How do you remove the high level light anyone?

Tape over it

As a rule of thumb: if its fitted it has to be working.

When I was a young student riding old (old S to Y reg) bikes we'd just take the indicators off rather than try and fix them if they had electrical gremlins!

I think bikes before a certain age dont have to have indicators or mirrors.

Anyway, this is a car forum lol, but the point is you'll probably pass by just removing the hi-level light then refitting it after, assuming of course these hi-level brake lights aren't mandatory (or mandatory for the age of the car being MOT'd).
