This inspection applies to all vehicles, except those which either have no front or rear position lamps or have such lamps permanently disconnected,
painted over or masked that are:
. only used during daylight hours, and
. not used at times of seriously reduced visibility.
If this situation occurs, the vehicle presenter should be issued with a VT32 (advisory notice) recording the above.

I had read online only brake lights and reflectors where required, i rang the MOT centre booking line to ask and they had never heard of it!
I wonder where i would get some gospel information on this?

It may have changed but when I used to have my trials bike MOT'd if it was fitted with a brake light it needed the whole set fitted
i.e indicators, side light and headlight.
Don't know if the same applies currently to four wheels
Cheers, Pewe10

I took my race bike for MOT a couple years ago and it failed on the following..
For daylight only certificate..
No lights and no switches.
It failed because I had a brake light and the switches where still present on the handle bars.
I think its worth going and asking the tester...

My race bikes had daytime MoTs and they had a rear reflector and brake light. But this was several years ago!

I think part of the problem is testers are /very/ variable. If you want the gospel, speak to VOSA directly, then take that evidence to the tester and
carry it in your car as you're bound to get stopped by the fuzz.
