Re: Daytime MOT - Police view
As far as I am aware any light or part of,i.e. wiring, switch or loom that is fitted must be in working order for an MOT. As for as use is concerned,type approval is granted for the vehicle at first registration and to deviate from this may be a contravention of the Construction and Use Regs if the vehicle is to be used on the public highway.
Any modified vehicle that is for use on a public highway must have an engineers report and inspection by Vehicle Inspectorate before being legal. Remember that even using a vehicle on private land if the public has access will require some sort of liability insurance and these are questions asked by insurers.
Not as cut and dried as you would think if you want to be 100% legal,on the other hand you take your chances on private land
MOT is only a safety check not gospel that the vehicle is road legal and you could ride out of an MOT Station and get nicked under Construction and Use Reg for a defective vehicle
