| Jul 5, 2019 at 10:56 | comment | added | alephzero | In the UK any cause of failure (even a blown bulb) results in a recorded test failure and a complete re-inspection if the car is removed from the test location before the problem is fixed. Of course most people would rather pay the test center to replace the bulb (which is often done "free" apart from the cost of the bulb itself) rather than exercise their right to take the car away and do the job themselves. | |
