I see a post on the other forum, where someone's 2014 Tekna, has failed MOT because one mirror flasher is not working.

I'd have thought if front & back indicators were working OK, that would be all that's required- apparently not.

Poster was enquiring about replacing, but he should surely be able to get under Warranty

Dont quote me on this, but I thought additional lights have to work "if fitted". So all he has do do is cover the lights up so they dont look like mirror indicators & it should pass the MOT. Unless there is legeslation that says a car must have indicators fitted to mirrors, which i doubt.

Thanks; sounds similar to the spare tyre requirement ie if you have one, it must have legal tread minimum. But if taken out of car, prior to test, it can't\ won't be included in test.
