Dear HJ, you make reference in your reply to IP, Solihull June 30, that ‘Any illuminated dash warning lights will now mean an mot failure.’

I have an engine management light on, due to possibly a faulty egr valve,which i have had blocked off for three years now.

The car drives great and isn’t worth much so I just want to leave it alone.
I have done quite a bit of research on this matter and as I understand it, this particular light is NOT included in the MOT test.

I have seen on the government website that many lights including ESP ABS tyre pressure ARE included but not the engine management light.

Am I wrong? If I am right could you point me to an official document that I could show the guy in the MOT station before he carries out the MOT, just in case he is inclined to fail the car.
