My bike passed 2 MOTs with no number plate light. I checked that it was not part of the test before booking it.

However I've since got a new tail tidy and re-fitted the light, so I'm all legal.
I found the most annoying bit of the MOT to be the rear reflector, as it must be facing "squarely to the rear", so shouldn't just be stuck on the edge of an angled number plate. Dunno how strict most MOT testers would be about this though.
