Quick MOT question...

[riche30]

The handbrake warning light on my 320i doesn't always light up when the handbrake handle is raised, the bulb is fine, it's the wire on the contact point under the handbrake gaiter that keeps detaching itself that's the problem.

Is it an MOT failure?

Thanks

[andyp]

You will be fine

...here's one.. I was lead to believe non functional reversing lights aren't a problem - is that true?

[ImysE30]

Yes, reserve lights are not part of an MOT

Good because one of mine don't work

Most supermini's have one reverse light.

If two lights are fitted they must both work, like the spare wheel (if its bald it'll fail but if there isn't one thats O.K.).

Yes, if you have 2 they both must work.
