You should of questioned it then,My car was only just MOT last week, Had the towbar fitted but not wired,I asked the tester and he confirmed that it did not have to be untill April?? Maybe each station have there own rules as to when they apply the new ones.

I think it should now be tested, but shouldn't be a FAIL point until April - you ought to receive an advisory if necessary.

Its only the 13pin sockets being tested, correct?

My 7-pin socket wasn't tested - but it only has to be "secure" .. which it is.
