Frequently asked.
- Why does a lamp with a multiple light… fail an MOT?
- A lamp with a multiple light source up to 1/2 not functioning. Most commonly flagged on the Honda Stream. UK MOT standards require this item to meet minimum safety thresholds — when it falls short, the tester logs it as a Major or Dangerous defect and the car fails outright.
- How much does it cost to fix a lamp with a multiple light…?
- Costs vary depending on the vehicle, region, and severity. Use our MOT cost estimator for typical UK garage rates across the most common failure items.
