OK DLM48 lets get rid of the 'old wives tales' and the 'my mates mate has had his MOT'd with an Engine light on' and lets talk FACTS.

I will start

20th May 2018 EC Directive number (2014/45) made required adjustments to the UK MOT Regs. Engine Check Engine light a mandatory inspection. The new requirement is within section 8 of the following

https://www.gov.uk/government/public...-emission-data

And I quote
… 'Defect', ...'Engine MIL inoperative or indicating a fault, ...'Category -Major (fail)'.

You cant remove the bulb or have the malfunction indicator lamp MIL on.

You either

1. tested at change over time (before june) or
2. simply got lucky.

Where is your OFFICIAL mot guidance.
