My Octavia is booked in for its MoT test one day next week
it's a garage that we've used constantly for the past 7 years or so, for all 3 of our cars (barring daughters new car - too young for even first service!!)
I'm expecting a Pass, as it's had a lot of wear & tear componants replaced over the past couple years (4 x tyres, 4 x brake-discs/pads, rear springs & shocks, front struts...)
BUT
There's an intermittant 'Bulb Failure' warning light on the instrument panel
There's no failures, & it's been doing it for a year or so
At its last service, I asked if the ECUs could be interrogated by the laptop/device, to see what bulb it was
Sadly no, every bulb would have to be checked in turn/replaced
Thus....
I can't see it mentioned, in the guidance here. but is this warning a possible 'Fail'
I know ABS lights, etc........ are
