Re: EML and Mot
Yeah technically but a friendly tester will just see that it isn't on and pass it. If your tester wont, change tester!Eddie Honda wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 9:06 pmEr, you want it come on first, then go out.

Re: EML and Mot
Check the regs first, there are several different dates of first use only after which the EML on is a fail.nebuchenezer wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 11:35 pm Current mot eml light on, does not go out then fail. Age immaterial.

Which is from here:Eddie Honda wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 5:11 pm Yup, it's true. Tester manual if you read it properly...
Engine malfunction indicator lamp (engine management light or ‘EML’)
Turn on the ignition and check that the engine malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates and then goes off. On some vehicles it will be necessary to start the engine before the MIL goes off.
You need to inspect MIL fitted to:
- petrol vehicles with 4 or more wheels, not more than 8 passenger seats in addition to the driver’s seat and first used on or after 1 July 2003
- petrol vehicles with 4 or more wheels, more than 8 passenger seats in addition to the driver’s seat and first used on or after 1 July 2008
Kit cars, amateur built vehicles and American pickups are not required to be fitted with an engine MIL.
- gas and bi-fuel vehicles with 4 or more wheels, not more than 8 passenger seats in addition to the driver’s seat and first used on or after 1 July 2008

If before 1st July 2003 then no inspection of the Mother-in-Law. Otherwise my MGB would fail an MOT test...
