We write a lot about MOT news. This latest piece of information must really frighten motorists in getting the yellow rubber duck out. A few months back we wrote about what catches motorists out at the end of summer that causes them to fail an MOT. The vehicles lights are used less and less during the summer months because of the longer nights.
When someone is due an MOT toward the end of August and early September. A faulty light bulb can cause an MOT failure. You probably get caught out because the nights start to draw in and you haven’t checked if the vehicle lights are working or not before you bring your vehicle into the garage for an MOT.
