    Fuel reserve light on is not a reason to fail.
    This comes under refusal to test if the vehicle needs to be driven to complete the test.
    So technically it is a “sorry sir, as you are obviously stupid we aren’t able to test your car until you gather together some common sense and put some fuel in the tank”
    Thought it was worth a mention.

    Which proves how vital the MOT Test is !!!
    The vehicles which fail are below the required standard, probably have been for some time and without the MOT test would continue to be so to the detriment of all road users.

    I’m not sure of all the details but I gather the test is very different in Northern Ireland. Which probably accounts for the quoted cost difference.
    Other than that these failures at an average cost of £272 must be more than a couple of light bulbs which, as said earlier, reinforces how valuable the MOT test is. Although I daresay some of the owners will be moening about having to pay out rather than keep driving their dangerous vehicles!
