you don't need a reverse light for MOT, so just forget about it. I mean seriously, who really needs a reverse light to reverse #-o

Yeah no worries, let me know.

A reverse light is classed as an accessory for MOT purposes, and if its not fitted then you'll have no problems.

Similarly, if there is a reverse light fitted, it must work :)

Thats not strictly true. Some MOT people will argue that the original vehicle was equipped with reverse lights and and you have modified teh car unsafely be removing some of the standard safety equipment.
