if you have headlight washers therefore xenon lights then they must work to pass the MOT. Mine has failed the last two MOTs because they were initially not working due to split pipework.

The fact the car thinks the headlight bulbs have failed could be why the washers do not work rather than the other way around.

I would suggest that you find someone close to you with VCDS if you do not have it yourself and get a full scan of the car, this should show the actual reasoning for the bulb fail indication.
