What instruments and tell-tale lights does the dash NEED to pass an MOT?

Ta!

Speedometer, main beam, indicators and brake fluid tell tale.

foglamp telltale, indicator/hazzard telltale, abs lamp if abs fitted.

Cheers... so just to re-cap so I get this right, the only instrument needed is a Speedo, and the only Tell-Tale's are:

Main-Beam
Indicators
Hazard
Fog
Brake-Fluid

I dont recal seeing speedo being in MoT manual.

Will be against construction and use regs I would imagine.

speedo is not tested on the MOT, main beam warning is an advisory item and I believe a brake fluid level warning lamp is only required if the fluid resevior is not transparent and marked with a minimum level.
