MOT Question

Someone has just made me aware of this

Don't you just love a bit of ill written government manuals?

Taken from MOT tester manual here

Quote:

4.2 Front and rear position lamps, daytime running lamps and end-outline marker lamps

4.2.1 Presence, condition and operation
This inspection is for:

mandatory position lamps
mandatory end-outline marker lamps
daytime running lamps (DRLs) fitted to M1 vehicles first used on or after 1 March 2018


Now DRL's have been fitted as standard since about 2011 on new vehicles. So reading the above DRLs will not be tested on M1 vehicles until March 2021 under the 3 year rule for first MOT. That is about 10 years since they were first on new models.

The other question is that a lot of Land Rovers are N1 classification so where do they fit into the MOT?

Yes I am confused!


Can any MOT testers explain this please?

I can see it seems odd that DVSA has only made testing of DRLs mandatory from vehicle fitted since March 18 but the first tests could be this year as some councils require taxis to be tested annually from year one. It would appear at the moment N1 vehicles do not require testing . The new testing regime seems to be throwing up lots of anomalies like this such headlamp washers "You must inspect vehicles first used on or after 1 September 2009 equipped with headlamp washers". So I don't need them to work on my 2005MY D3. which needed them to be type approved ? I still wonder if although not tested they still legally need to work, same with DRLs?
