If they don't work, it's not an MOT fail, right?

Reverse lights let people behind know your next move, just as brake lights let people know you're stopping! weird

If you're checking your lights for MOT make sure you don't have a bad Earth anywhere. (taillights flicker everytime indicator light comes on)

I'd be worried if there was any Joe

eermmmm...

if there's reverse light's and they dont work its a fail..

if it doesn't have reverse light's, they cant test them, there for cant fail them...

so, if i was you, i'd get some bulbs, if thats why they dont work.

100% incorrect

reverse lights and front fog or spot lights do not come into test!
