Default Possible MOT failure

Hi Guys,
Just a quick question regarding MOT.
My car is a PF QS with integral fog lights in with the head lights.
If the fog lights do not work, is this an automatic fail.
Thanks
David

You mean should not be testing front fogs. Only rear right or center fog light is included at MOT.

The rear fog light works okay. It's only the integrated front fog lights not working.

Yep, the front foglights are not a testable item. You may get an advisory but that is all.
