I watched them MOT my other car last week, didn't see them look at the reversing lights........Not sure about front fogs might be like rear wipers not compulsary fitments, so not tested.

front fogs are not required, however if they are fitted to the car they must work. a picky tester can fail the car on that ground

hi folks just to clear it up the first post is correct . i am a tester( just to clarify) lol . even if front fogs fitted and dont work is only an advisory. and reverse lights not checked as part of mot requirements, but a good tester may check them any way and advise they not working. hope this helps! :D

my mot testers has never checked either of these on any of my cars
there is no requirement to check according to the website


easiest way to find out is to mot your car and see what happens
