Any one know if these are needed for an MOT? Mines an 1987 Caravelle and they've packed up and the MOT is tomorrow! I've looked online and can't see.

cheers

Yes i think they are needed for an MOT, i would imagine its the old case of 'if its fitted it should be working' :)

I'm sure someone will confirm though :)

E D I T: On second thoughts I don't think they are tested but if they were on all the time then it would fail

As long as they're not stuck 'on' all the time, you'll be rait. Not an MOT requirement to have them fitted/functioning.
