A car has to be legal to drive before every journey, not just at MOT time.
Thank you kindly for stating the bleedin' obvious.
Here I was thinking of spending a few hundered quid for no reason...now I know why I was thinking of changing the CCM.
With a Golf with factory Xenons, you are unlikely ever to be spotted as having no sidelights as the Xenons are always on...but since it's not legal, I want it sorting. It will, however, get picked up at the first MOT.
