Me Mig failed the MOT today. I was devastated  . Emmissions - nope. Brakes - nope. Tyres - nope.

Blown rear number plate bulb . Swapped in a spare and now got another 12 months ticket.

Yep.. Those bu66ers have a habit of blowing on the journey to the test station.

Oh crap, my MOT is tomorrow  So on the hottest day of the year I swopped out the rear shocks & flushed out the old brake oil. Last done 4 years ago 
I always make a mess doing this simple job, but the light oli spilled; soon evapourated away

I  cleaned up all the brake lines as best I could, but the N/S/R  looks a  bit iffy 
I buffed up the head lamps with  T-cut & now they sparkle & my Polish exhaust system fitted a number of years ago still looks ok.

The BMW did the opposite, last year. It started working on the way to the test!

I believe that there is some code in the ECU which interprets GPS signals and knows when you are on your way to the MOT centre

someone needs to do an ECU remap, so the indicators work AFTER BMWs leave the test center

Hey now, it's a planet-killing petrol BMW, not a child-murdering diesel VAG, I'll have you know!

Mine was gone last year, the tester put a new one in FOC and passed it!

That's exactly what my local garage would do.

Yep - It's what mine did - they know where I keep the spare bulbs - but they still printed the fail and then pass sheet.

Keeps VOSA happy. I've had a couple of Fail/Pass on headlight aim.

They all do it to some degree.  It's only VAG which has been caught thus far.
