Dont motrax or someone make a small. Bit of adhesive and should wire straight into the tail light wiring and all sorted minimal effort.

Rear number plate must be illuminated on an night MOT either by a constant white light that can't be seen by vehicles behind or in some cases [AHO] the red tail light suffices when it illuminates the numberplate. All lights must be in 100% working order
example being LED,s all must work.Showing a white light to the rear is a MOT fail.
I am aware that some MOT testers may be a bit lax on this but that is the official line
