Have a look at the back of the clocks. Take the shroud off surrounding them, and blanks on the left, and lighting switch on the right. Undo the screws, pivot it forward and pull it out. Simples!

It'll take 2 minutes to remove and have a look. Wires/connectors can work loose over time, in a car that vibrates etc. Doesnt matter if you have not checked it. If you wanna try and source the problem, check it out. Its not only an MOT failure remember, its illegal, but mostly its dangerous.
